Exe works in Windows C # service

Question

I am writing using windows C # service. Tickers this way when it works without problems.

bool processIsRunning(string process) { return (System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName(process).Length != 0); } if (!processIsRunning("notepad")) { Process.Start("notepad.exe"); } 

If the codes do not work this way.

 StreamReader read = new StreamReader(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("appdata") + "\\path.txt"); string path = oku.ReadLine(); string processname = Path.GetFileName("notepad"); if (processIsRunning(processname) == false) { System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(path); } 

I get the name of the program and the path to the program from the registry.

Your question doesn't make much sense, but there are some possible problems if the code you posted is your complete code.

Your StreamReader is called read , but are you trying to read from a stream named oku ?

In addition, you did not show that you are actually closing the StreamReader, you would be better of using a block StreamReader, you would be better of using a using` to make sure that your stream is correctly closed and deleted.

 using (StreamReader read = new StreamReader(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("appdata") + "\\path.txt")) { string path = read.ReadLine(); string processname = Path.GetFileName("notepad"); if (processIsRunning(processname) == false) { System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(path); } }
