Command is “net use”. This will open the shared folder

net use \\10.70.0.177\software /user:doamin\nikhil

If this command is used with * it will map drive to shared folder.

net use * \\10.70.0.177\software /user:doamin\nikhil

create windows service

Nov 6th

For creating windows service the easy way is use “windows service” project template, and use installutill to install the service. I am using Visual studio 2005 Professional Edition.

source code of timeserver

1. Create service

  1. Create “windows service” project. Lets say ‘TimeServer’
  2.  ‘TimeServer’ contains two files ‘Service1.cs’ and Program.cs’
  3. Change name  of ‘Service1.cs’ to “TimeServer.cs” (as I don’t like old name)
  4. You need to add new code to following functions.
    • OnStart() – here add the code for starting the service
    • OnStop() – here add the code for stopping the service
    • InitializeComponent() – change the name of service.
  5. For installation part of service you will need to add installer code for that
    • Add New item and choose “Installer Class” change its name to ‘program installer’
    • In this you need to specify installation details for service by using ServiceProcessInstaller and ServiceInstaller
    • In InitializeComponent(); we are creating objects for this and assigning values like user name password etc..
    • It is pretty simple you can refer the code attached.

2. Install created service.

  1. When you build the project it will create a ‘TimeServer.exe’. You will need this exe to install and run the service.
  2. Copy that exe to other location like c:\testTimeServer
  3. From command line use following command to install service
    • C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727>InstallUtil.exe “C:\testTimeServer\TimeServer.exe”
  4. To uninstall use C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727>InstallUtil.exe /u “C:\testTimeServer\TimeServer.exe

3. Debug installed service

  • Attach TimeServer process to project.
