Inhouse Developed Windows Services and Clustering

[Guest]

Is it true that any Windows Service developed using .Net Technology is s
Cluster-Aware service, or i have to include specific clustering object
reference in the code.

Thanks in advance.

Batayneh,

There is nothing in the ServiceBase class that indicates that is is
cluster-aware. It is just a service. If you want something that is
cluster-aware, then you need to program it yourself.

Hope this helps.

Any well behaved "windows service" can be configured used as a generic
service cluster object (failover object), just as any win32 application can
be used as a "generic" cluster application object
