doesnt seem to be firing the elapsed event.

Can someone tell why ? whats the problem with this code ?

Imports System.IO
Imports System.Timers
Public Class goodmorningalarm

Private WithEvents myTimer As New System.Timers.Timer(100)

Protected Overrides Sub OnStart(ByVal args() As String)
' Add code here to start your service. This method should set
things
' in motion so your service can do its work.


AddHandler myTimer.Elapsed, AddressOf DoSomething
myTimer.Start()
myTimer.Enabled = True

End Sub

Protected Overrides Sub OnStop()
' Add code here to perform any tear-down necessary to stop
your service.
myTimer.Enabled = False
End Sub

Function DoSomething() As Integer
MsgBox("test")

'Dim wr As New StreamWriter("c:\test.txt")
'wr.Write("Hello")

Return 1
End Function


End Class

Maybe, the service has blown-up/aborted and you don't know it.

Doesnt help, I would've expected a precise reply.

Anyways, Are you saying the code is correct and should work without
issues ?

I am doing this coding in vb.net 2008

No, I am saying you don't have a try/catch no where to be found in the
code, and it may have blown up. Do you even know how to debug a Windows
service by attaching a debugger to the Window service process?

If things are not firing, it's because it never made it to do the firing
is the most likely cause of the problem.
