How to trigger a window service to start every 10 secs

  Use a timer in your service.

  Exactly, use a timer and call that method that you want to execute.

  Declare a timer object

  System.Timers.Timer t = new System.Timers.Timer();

  in the windows service OnStart method,

  t.Interval = 10000; //10 Seconds

  t.Start();

  t.Elapsed += new System.Timers.ElapsedEventHandler(t_Elapsed); // Adds an event handler on runtime

  Now just add the code to the event handler.

  Hope it helps

  I did the same but my timer doesnot seem to work properly, as its elapsed event is not being called at specified interval. Is there some issue in using timer in window service. Thanks
