. Net – how to make an asynchronous servicecontroller WaitForStatus？

So servicecontroller Waitforstatus is a blocked call How can I complete the task / asynchronously?

Solution

ServiceController. The code of waitforstatus is:

public void WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus desiredStatus,TimeSpan timeout)
{
    DateTime utcNow = DateTime.UtcNow;
    this.Refresh();
    while (this.Status != desiredStatus)
    {
        if (DateTime.UtcNow - utcNow > timeout)
        {
            throw new TimeoutException(Res.GetString("Timeout"));
        }
        Thread.Sleep(250);
        this.Refresh();
    }
}

This can be converted to a task-based API using the following:

public static class ServiceControllerExtensions
{
    public static async Task WaitForStatusAsync(this ServiceController controller,ServiceControllerStatus desiredStatus,TimeSpan timeout)
    {
        var utcNow = DateTime.UtcNow;
        controller.Refresh();
        while (controller.Status != desiredStatus)
        {
            if (DateTime.UtcNow - utcNow > timeout)
            {
                throw new TimeoutException($"Failed to wait for '{controller.ServiceName}' to change status to '{desiredStatus}'.");
            }
            await Task.Delay(250)
                .ConfigureAwait(false);
            controller.Refresh();
        }
    }
}

Or cancellationtoken is supported

public static class ServiceControllerExtensions
{
    public static async Task WaitForStatusAsync(this ServiceController controller,TimeSpan timeout,CancellationToken cancellationToken)
    {
        var utcNow = DateTime.UtcNow;
        controller.Refresh();
        while (controller.Status != desiredStatus)
        {
            if (DateTime.UtcNow - utcNow > timeout)
            {
                throw new TimeoutException($"Failed to wait for '{controller.ServiceName}' to change status to '{desiredStatus}'.");
            }
            await Task.Delay(250,cancellationToken)
                .ConfigureAwait(false);
            controller.Refresh();
        }
    }
}
