ServiceBase.CanShutdown Property

Definition

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

public:
 property bool CanShutdown { bool get(); void set(bool value); };
public bool CanShutdown { get; set; }
member this.CanShutdown : bool with get, set
Public Property CanShutdown As Boolean

Property Value

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

Exceptions

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.
