C# Windows Service example for a Tibco EMS consumer using Spring.Messaging.Ems

SpringMessagingTiboEmsListnerServer

This is a windows service which implments a Listener/Consumer for Tibco EMS using the Spring.Messaging.Ems project.

Quick Setup

• Create new Windows Service
• Rename Service1 to EmsListenerService
• Rename EmsListenerService.Designer.cs

        private void InitializeComponent()
        {
            components = new System.ComponentModel.Container();
            this.ServiceName = "Service1";
        }

to

        private void InitializeComponent()
        {
            components = new System.ComponentModel.Container();
            this.ServiceName = "EmsListnerService";
        }

Click on EmsListenerService.cs [Design] Toolbox Add Components > EventLog

Add the Installer

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/windows-services/walkthrough-creating-a-windows-service-application-in-the-component-designer

To create the installers for your service In Solution Explorer, open the context menu for MyNewService.cs or MyNewService.vb, and then choose View Designer. Click the background of the designer to select the service itself, instead of any of its contents. Open the context menu for the designer window (if you’re using a pointing device, right-click inside the window), and then choose Add Installer. By default, a component class that contains two installers is added to your project. The component is named ProjectInstaller, and the installers it contains are the installer for your service and the installer for the service's associated process. In Design view for ProjectInstaller, choose serviceInstaller1 for a Visual C# project, or ServiceInstaller1 for a Visual Basic project. In the Properties window, make sure the ServiceName property is set to MyNewService. Set the Description property to some text, such as "A sample service". This text appears in the Services window and helps the user identify the service and understand what it’s used for. Set the DisplayName property to the text that you want to appear in the Services window in the Name column. For example, you can enter "MyNewService Display Name". This name can be different from the ServiceName property, which is the name used by the system (for example, when you use the net start command to start your service). Set the StartType property to Automatic. Installer Properties for a Windows Service In the designer, choose serviceProcessInstaller1 for a Visual C# project, or ServiceProcessInstaller1 for a Visual Basic project. Set the Account property to LocalSystem. This will cause the service to be installed and to run on a local service account.
