I am using Quartz.net and I am trying to get the Quartz server to start-off in a Windows Service. I have created a Windows Service Project and included the Quartz.net libraries. In my Service class I have:
protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
{
try
{
Host host = HostFactory.New(x =>
{
x.Service<IQuartzServer>(s =>
{
s.SetServiceName("quartz.server");
s.ConstructUsing(builder =>
{
QuartzServer server = new QuartzServer();
server.Initialize();
return server;
});
s.WhenStarted(server => server.Start());
s.WhenPaused(server => server.Pause());
s.WhenContinued(server => server.Resume());
s.WhenStopped(server => server.Stop());
});
x.RunAsLocalService();
//x.RunAs(@"mydomain\mysusername", "mypassword");
x.SetDescription(Configuration.ServiceDescription);
x.SetDisplayName(Configuration.ServiceDisplayName);
x.SetServiceName(Configuration.ServiceName);
});
host.Run();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Log.Error(ex.Message);
Log.Error(ex.InnerException.Message);
}
}
I have also created a Windows Service Installer and have successfully installed the Windows Service in Visual Studio's command prompt using:
installutil MyWindowsService.exe
When I view my service in the Windows service list and try to start the service - I get a message dialog box:
The MyWindowsService service on Local Computer started and the
stopped. Some Services stop automatically if they are not in use by
other services or programs.
Here is the output I have logged to the event viewer (log4net):

Does anyone know how I can get this service to start without this error(s) being thrown?
Thanks in advance.
ex.InnerException.Messagecan easily cause a null pointer. Avoid – Galoshes
