Methods

  NameDescription
Protected method____ObtainPrivateServiceStatusLockObject
WARNING: Developers never call this method!!! It is used by advanced derived implementations that need to synchronize status updates. We do not want to make statuslock protected as it is almost never needed, hence this accessor
Protected method__setComponentDirector (Inherited from ApplicationComponent.)
Protected methodAbortStart
Allows to abort unsuccessful DoStart() overridden implementation. This method must be called from within DoStart()
Public methodAcceptManagerVisit
Accepts a visit of a manager entity - this call is useful for periodic updates of service status, i.e. when service does not have a thread of its own it can be periodically managed by some other service through this method. The default implementation of DoAcceptManagerVisit(object, DateTime) does nothing
Public methodCheckForCompleteStop
Non-blocking call that returns true when the service instance has completely stopped after SignalStop()
Protected methodCheckServiceActive
Checks for service activity and throws exception if service is not in ControlStatus.Active state
Protected methodCheckServiceActiveOrStarting
Checks for service activity and throws exception if service is not in ControlStatus.Active state
Protected methodCheckServiceInactive
Checks for service inactivity and throws exception if service is running (started, starting or stopping)
Public methodConfigure
Configures service from configuration node (and possibly it's sub-nodes)
Protected methodDestructor (Overrides ApplicationComponent Destructor .)
Public methodDispose
Deterministically disposes object. DO NOT OVERRIDE this method, override Destructor() instead
(Inherited from DisposableObject.)
Protected methodDoAcceptManagerVisit
Accepts a visit from external manager. Base implementation does nothing. Override in services that need external management calls to update their state periodically, i.e. when they don't have a thread on their own
Protected methodDoCheckForCompleteStop
Provides implementation for checking whether the service has completely stopped
Protected methodDoConfigure
Provides implementation that configures service from configuration node (and possibly it's sub-nodes)
Protected methodDoSignalStop
Provides implementation that signals service to stop. This is expected not to block
Protected methodDoStart
Provides implementation that starts the service
Protected methodDoWaitForCompleteStop
Provides implementation for a blocking call that returns only after a complete service stop
Public methodEnsureObjectNotDisposed
Checks to see whether object dispose started or has already been disposed and throws an exception if Dispose() was called
(Inherited from DisposableObject.)
Public methodOnlineEquals
Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.
(Inherited from OnlineObject.)
Protected methodFinalize (Inherited from DisposableObject.)
Public methodOnlineGetHashCode
Serves as the default hash function.
(Inherited from OnlineObject.)
Public methodOnlineGetType
Gets the OnlineType of the current instance.
(Inherited from OnlineObject.)
Public methodLocalizedTimeToUniversalTime
Converts localized time to UTC time as of TimeLocation property
Protected methodOnlineMemberwiseClone
Creates a shallow copy of the current OnlineObject.
(Inherited from OnlineObject.)
Public methodSignalStop
Non-blocking call that initiates the stopping of the service
Public methodStart
Blocking call that starts the service instance
Protected methodStartByApplication
Blocking call that starts the service instance
Public methodOnlineToString
Returns a string that represents the current object.
(Inherited from OnlineObject.)
Public methodUniversalTimeToLocalizedTime
Converts universal time to local time as of TimeLocation property
Public methodWaitForCompleteStop
Blocks execution of current thread until this service has completely stopped

Properties

  NameDescription
Public propertyApplicationDontAutoStartService
Checks whether the class is decorated with ApplicationDontAutoStartServiceAttribute
Public propertyComponentCommonName
Returns the common name used to identify the component, for example "Glue" for various IGlue implementations. This name is searched-by some management tools that allow to find component by this name that does not change between application restarts like ComponentSID does. Subordinate (non-root) components return null
(Inherited from ApplicationComponent.)
Public propertyComponentDirector
Returns a reference to an object that this app component services/operates under, or null
(Inherited from ApplicationComponent.)
Public propertyComponentSID
Returns process/instance unique app component system id
(Inherited from ApplicationComponent.)
Public propertyComponentStartTime
Returns local computer time of component start (not from application container time)
(Inherited from ApplicationComponent.)
Public propertyDisposed
Indicates whether this object was already disposed - the Dispose() has finished
(Inherited from DisposableObject.)
Public propertyDisposeStarted
Indicates whether this object Dispose() has been called and dispose started but not finished yet
(Inherited from DisposableObject.)
Public propertyLocalizedTime
Returns current time localized per TimeLocation
Public propertyName
Provides textual name for the service
Public propertyRunning
Returns true when service is active or about to become active. Check in service implementation loops/threads/tasks
Public propertyStatus
Current service status
Public propertyTimeLocation
Returns time location of this LocalizedTimeProvider implementation
