Windows could not start MYService on Local Computer
Rasheed
i have created a simple Service by reading the MSDN. i have installed
the service successfully, but when i try to start the service its
throwing the exception as below:
Windows could not start the MYService on Local Computer.
Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control
request in a timely fashion.
i have pasted my code in below, kindly can anybody help me where i did
wrong.
i am working on Windows 7 OS and VS 2010.
