Hello everyone,

I'm new to Windows Service that I'm trying to create in Visual Studio 2012. I want two methods to keep running in background in parallel/disconnected from each other. How can I achieve this purpose. A little demonstration will be highly appreciated. My target OS is Windows Server 2008 R2. Please help!

Thanks a lot in Advance!

Best Regards,
Sunny

In .net4 you can do the following:

C#

public void main()
{
   ... 
   bool run = true; // to control the exit from the loops

   Task.Factory.StartNew(()=>{
       while(run)
       {
          ... // your code here
          Thread.Sleep(10);// sleep for 10ms
       }
   });
}

Thanks for your valuable time & help Mr. Gholam. Can you please let me know how can we monitor these threads so that if dies anyhow, a new one will spin off??

The code will run forever, you can put a try..catch in the while and all errors will be handled.
