ServiceBase.OnContinue Method

.NET Framework 2.0

When implemented in a derived class, OnContinue runs when a Continue command is sent to the service by the Service Control Manager (SCM). Specifies actions to take when a service resumes normal functioning after being paused.

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

Syntax

C++

'Declaration
Protected Overridable Sub OnContinue
'Usage

Me.OnContinue

protected void OnContinue ()

JScript

protected function OnContinue ()

Remarks

Implement OnContinue to mirror your application's response to OnPause. When you continue the service (either through the Services add-in or programmatically), the OnContinue processing runs, and the service becomes active again.

OnContinue is expected to be overridden when the CanPauseAndContinue property is true.

If CanPauseAndContinue is false, the SCM will not pass Pause or Continue requests to the service, so the OnPause and OnContinue methods will not be called even if they are implemented. In the SCM, the Pause and Continue controls are disabled when CanPauseAndContinue is false.

Example

The following example shows an implementation of the OnContinue method for a service class derived from ServiceBase. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the ServiceBase class.
