Okay.... very unclear. If you want to use a timestamp in a service what is stopping you from doing so?

First of all "beginner" is completely meaningless. I know people that have been coming to this site for years and they still post that they are "beginners" in order to invoke sympathy from others because they are just too lazy to do some basic research.

Being a beginner does not mean that you are incapable of asking a clear question. What is it that you think a "timestamp" is? Your definition and my definition might be vastly different. Did you look up DateTime in the documentation? Maybe the DateTime.Now method would be of some interest to you.

As to how you use it... that is completely up to you. I would have no idea what it is that you think you want to do with it.

What do you mean by timestamp? You want to track the activity of a service, to see when it was started or stopped? In this case you should use the Windows Event log, and write appropriate event handlers. The event log is by default there, and most of the services do log their status changes in it.

Sorry, but your "sentences" make no sense in English.
