Win service in shutdown windows

Question

Hi,

   I need some stuff like disconnect from server in win service, I add this in the STOP function, but seems like when windows shutdown this function not been called.

How when service will know if windows shutting down, or service going down to do its cleanup before.

Thanks,

This what your looking for?

protected override void OnShutdown()
{
    //your code here
    base.OnShutdown();
}

You can also override the sessionchanged event.
