[1.0/1.1] Stop Thread Continued

[steve65]

Hi all,

Thank you for all of your help on getting me this far. My service is coming along fine and I now what it to stop if there is a problem. In my OnStart method I start my thread for the service. To stop a service it was suggested that I set a flag and have the thread test for it.

In my thread I initiate a timer object to run my process at the desired interval. If my process fails I set a flag in the class. The next time the timer runs it checks this flag and if the process failed the timer is disabled. While I am in the OnServiceElapsedTime method is there a way to get the thread to check that the timer has been deactivated and that the thread should close?

Thanks for the advice.
Steve
