Summary:
Visual Studio .NET allows us to get a basic Windows service up and running quickly. The next step is to give our service the high-performance features and configurability required for real world applications. In this article, Scott Allen demonstrates how to use multithreaded techniques in .NET to achieve higher throughput and scalability in a sample Windows service. In addition, we cover configuration of the service via an XML file. In order to demonstrate the techniques discussed in the article we develop a "stock alerts" Windows service, which retrieves stock quotes from a web service and emails interested parties when a stock price moves past a specific threshold. The topics covered inside the article are also applicable to other .NET application types.
