c# - Rerun method as soon as it has finished -

right i'm using timer trigger method. how can make service run method has finished?

private timer timer;      public service()     {         initializecomponent();     }      protected override void onstart(string[] args)     {         dosomething();         timer = new timer();         timer.enabled = true;         timer.interval = 60000;         timer.autoreset = true;         timer.start();         timer.elapsed += timer_elapsed;     }      protected override void onstop()     {         base.onstop();     }      private void timer_elapsed(object sender, elapsedeventargs e)     {         dosomething();     } 

get rid of timer , use recursion:

public service() {   initializecomponent();   dosomething(); }  private void dosomething() {   // code takes while execute    // make recursive call self   dosomething(); } 

edit answer accepted won't work in context of service (actually, execute, service forever stuck in 'starting' status, , generate 1503 error).

here full code service continuously execute method:

using system; using system.collections.generic; using system.componentmodel; using system.data; using system.diagnostics; using system.linq; using system.serviceprocess; using system.text;  namespace recursion {     public partial class service1 : servicebase     {         public service1()         {             initializecomponent();         }          system.threading.thread thread;          protected override void onstart(string[] args)         {             system.io.file.writealltext(@"c:\temp\foo.txt", "starting at: " + system.datetime.now.tostring());             thread = new system.threading.thread(dosomething);             thread.name = "worker thread";             thread.isbackground = true;             thread.start();         }          private void dosomething() {             while (true)             {                 system.io.file.writealltext(@"c:\temp\foo.txt", "the time now: " + system.datetime.now.tostring());                 system.threading.thread.sleep(1000);             }         }          protected override void onstop()         {         }     } } 

@cslecours wrong cause stackoverflow, right in causing onstart method not exit cause , error windows service.
