Cum sa controlam modul in care un serviciu windows porneste din cod

Prin intermediul la clasei ServiceController putem sa controlam un serviciu windows. Il putem in orice moment porni sau oprii. Dar daca avem nevoie sa ii schimbam startup type? De exemplu daca vreau sa ii schimb startup type-ul de pe manual pe automat?
Din pacate ServiceController nu ne oferă aceasta funcționalitate. Din cod C# nu am gasit o posibilitatea prin care as putea sa fac acest lucru. In schimb am gasit in registry bine ascunse aceste valori.
Daca deschidem registrii si ne uitam sub Local System in path-ul "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\" o sa gasim lista cu toate serviciile pe care le avem instalate pe masina. Pentru fiecare serviciu avem:
  • nume
  • descriere
  • tipul
  • startup type-ul
  • path-ul spre serviciu
  • etc
Daca schimbam una din aceste valori, sistemul de operare o sa faca update automat la serviciu. O solutie la probleme noastra este sa facem o metoda care scrie valoarea in registri.
public enum StartupModeType
{
Boot = 0,
System = 1,
Automatic = 2,
Manual = 3,
Disabled = 4
}
Mai sus este lista cu starile pe care le poate avea serviciu. Iar mai jos avem cele doua metode care fac get si set la aceasta valoarea:
public StartupModeType GetStartupMode(string serviceName)
{
RegistryKey registryKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(""SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\" + serviceName);
StartupModeType startupMode = (StartupModeType)registryKey.GetValue("Start");
registryKey.Close();
return startupMode;
}
public void SetStartupMode(string serviceName, StartupServiceMode startupServiceMode)
{
RegistryKey registryKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\Start",RegistryKeyPermissionCheck.ReadWriteSubTree);
registryKey.SetValue(StartupTyeRegistryKey,(int)startupServiceMode);
registryKey.Close();
}
In functie de necesitati putem sa facem niste extension methods la ServiceController care sa se ocupe de acest lucru. O alta varianta era cream un proces nou si sa apelam "sc [numeServiciu] config".

Windows Docker Containers can make WIN32 API calls, use COM and ASP.NET WebForms

After the last post , I received two interesting questions related to Docker and Windows. People were interested if we do Win32 API calls from a Docker container and if there is support for COM. WIN32 Support To test calls to WIN32 API, let’s try to populate SYSTEM_INFO class. [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)] public struct SYSTEM_INFO { public uint dwOemId; public uint dwPageSize; public uint lpMinimumApplicationAddress; public uint lpMaximumApplicationAddress; public uint dwActiveProcessorMask; public uint dwNumberOfProcessors; public uint dwProcessorType; public uint dwAllocationGranularity; public uint dwProcessorLevel; public uint dwProcessorRevision; } ... [DllImport("kernel32")] static extern void GetSystemInfo(ref SYSTEM_INFO pSI); ... SYSTEM_INFO pSI = new SYSTEM_INFO(...

How to audit an Azure Cosmos DB

In this post, we will talk about how we can audit an Azure Cosmos DB database. Before jumping into the problem let us define the business requirement: As an Administrator I want to be able to audit all changes that were done to specific collection inside my Azure Cosmos DB. The requirement is simple, but can be a little tricky to implement fully. First of all when you are using Azure Cosmos DB or any other storage solution there are 99% odds that you’ll have more than one system that writes data to it. This means that you have or not have control on the systems that are doing any create/update/delete operations. Solution 1: Diagnostic Logs Cosmos DB allows us activate diagnostics logs and stream the output a storage account for achieving to other systems like Event Hub or Log Analytics. This would allow us to have information related to who, when, what, response code and how the access operation to our Cosmos DB was done. Beside this there is a field that specifies what was th...

ADO.NET provider with invariant name 'System.Data.SqlClient' could not be loaded

Today blog post will be started with the following error when running DB tests on the CI machine: threw exception: System.InvalidOperationException: The Entity Framework provider type 'System.Data.Entity.SqlServer.SqlProviderServices, EntityFramework.SqlServer' registered in the application config file for the ADO.NET provider with invariant name 'System.Data.SqlClient' could not be loaded. Make sure that the assembly-qualified name is used and that the assembly is available to the running application. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=260882 for more information. at System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.DependencyResolution.ProviderServicesFactory.GetInstance(String providerTypeName, String providerInvariantName) This error happened only on the Continuous Integration machine. On the devs machines, everything has fine. The classic problem – on my machine it’s working. The CI has the following configuration: TeamCity .NET 4.51 EF 6.0.2 VS2013 It see...
