ServiceBase.CanShutdown Property

.NET Framework 2.0

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the service should be notified when the system is shutting down.

Namespace: System.ServiceProcess
Assembly: System.ServiceProcess (in system.serviceprocess.dll)

public bool CanShutdown { get; set; }

/** @property */
public boolean get_CanShutdown ()

/** @property */
public void set_CanShutdown (boolean value)

JScript

public function get CanShutdown () : boolean

public function set CanShutdown (value : boolean)

Property Value

true if the service should be notified when the system is shutting down; otherwise, false.

Exceptions

Exception type	Condition
InvalidOperationException	The service has already been started. The CanShutdown property cannot be changed once the service has started.

Remarks

If CanShutdown is true, the service is notified when the system is shutting down. At shutdown, the OnShutdown method is called if it has been implemented in your derived class.

Note
Only the system should cause the OnShutdown method to execute; the service can call it, but this is not recommended.
