Auto restart windows service

Question

I am trying to a Window Service in C#, which should be running always. If there is a crash or shutdown, then it should automatically restart. I considered using Service controller class, but the problem is how to handle if both Service Controller & Service go down at same time. Is there a watchdog functionality in Windows with which I can register and it takes care of the service start up?

Answer 1

You could consider using recovery options of service. It can be set through properties of the service when running services.msc.
