(Win Serv.) It's a long start.

[inna]

I wrote Windows-service, which listens to 25 ports a local car. I've set up a service and started it.

The service has been launched for a very long time, and at the end it makes a mistake:

At the same time, if you enter this service:

I mean, you can't stop running it, you can't just delete it.

But at the same time, the service works, it writes logic, the port listens!

Project code:

protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
{
    l.Write("Service started: " + ServiceName);
    EventLog.WriteEntry("Service started: " + ServiceName);
try
{
    SMTP s = new SMTP(this);
    s.Listen();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    l.Write("OnStart error: \n" + ex.ToString());
}         

}

This is where we create the juice:

public void Listen()

{

int iter = 0;

try
{
    SMTP_Listener = new TcpListener(IPAddress.Any, port);
    SMTP_Listener.Start();
    l.Write("SMTP started " + DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString());

    while (true)
    {
        l.Write("iteration: " + iter.ToString());

        clientSocket = SMTP_Listener.AcceptSocket();
        string sessionID = clientSocket.GetHashCode().ToString();

        l.Write("New session: " + sessionID);

        StartProcessing();
    }
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    l.Write("SMTP Listen Error: " + ex.ToString());
    throw;
}

}
void StartProcessing()

{

l.Write("StartProcessing()  -  started");
try
{
    string m_ConnectedIp = ParseIP_from_EndPoint(clientSocket.RemoteEndPoint.ToString());
    string m_ConnectedHostName = GetHostName(m_ConnectedIp);

    l.Write(String.Format("m_ConnectedIp = {0}, m_ConnectedHostName = {1}", m_ConnectedIp, m_ConnectedHostName));

    //РАБОТА С ВХОДНЫМИ ДАННЫМИ
    while (true)
    {
        //если есть данные, то считаем их
        if (clientSocket.Available > 0)
        {
            string lastCmd = ReadLine();
            l.Write("lastCmd: " + lastCmd);

            //break; // добавил

            //парсим команду
            ProceedCommand(lastCmd);
        }
    }               
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    l.Write("SMTP StartProcessing Error: " + ex.ToString());
    throw;
}

l.Write("StartProcessing()  -  end");

}

I want to make sure that the service can launch normally so that it can be properly stopped from the Windus interface. Maybe it's about endless cycles. Please.

Your method Listen Never return the controls - and if the system thinks it's down, we have to get the controls back. OnStart♪

You need to create a new one. flow and listen to it.
