base.OnStart() in Service Application

[Guest]

Hi,

I've created a Windows service application and I would like to know if I should be calling base.OnStart(args) and base.OnStop inside my overridden OnStart and OnStop methods? If yes, I have a little bit of code in my OnStart method so should I call it at the beginning of my method or at the end? Also, if yes, should I call base.OnStop() as the first or last line in my OnStop method?

Thanks,
Mike

The OnXXX methods of the ServiceBase class are there to be overridden by
subclasses for callbacks. They are basically just stub methods that do
nothing, so you don't need to call them at all.
