Timer doesn't work on WinHost?

Hello,

I have another problem. I'm playing a bit with Timer class and I wrote simple service that keeps doing "something" every 5 seconds:

Code:

public class BackgroundService : IHttpModule
    {
        static Timer timer;
        int interval = 5000;
        public String ModuleName
        {
            get { return "BackgroundService"; }
        }

        public void Init(HttpApplication application)
        {
             if(timer == null)
                timer = new Timer(new TimerCallback(ScheduledWorkCallback), application.Context, interval, interval);
        }

        public void Dispose()
        {
            timer = null;
        }

        private void ScheduledWorkCallback(object sender)
        {
            HttpContext context = (HttpContext)sender;
            DoSomething(context);
        }

        void DoSomething(HttpContext context)
        {
            Log.Entry("I'm your service");
        }
    }

and in web config:

Code:

<httpModules>
<add name="BackgroundService" type="Namespace1.BackgroundService" />
</httpModules>

in this case it's writing some string to my log. It works on my localhost server (this means it keeps updating the log every 5 secs) but it doesn't on Winhost server. Anyone can tell me why? What is causing it?

I get no error and my log is not updated, while on localhost it is being updated with that string...

 

Nevermind, Ive resolved it myself.

If anyone is interested here is solution: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms227673.aspx - IIS7.0 in Integrated mode uses

Code:

<system.webServer>
    <modules>
      <add name="HelloWorldModule" type="HelloWorldModule"/>
    </modules>
  </system.webServer>

instead of
<system.web>
<httpModules>

 

Thanks for the posting. I myself haven't tried this but its good to know I now have a reference to call on.
