Hi Gary,

Writting Windows Service in Win32 is a complex job, because you have to
deal with inter-thread communication and other stuff. In .Net, this is
pretty simple, VS2005 provides a "Windows Service" project type which you
can create and use.

You may read the following articles as a start:
"Windows Services: New Base Classes in .NET Make Writing a Windows Service
Easy"
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/01/12/NETServ/
"Writing a Useful Windows Service in .NET in Five Minutes [Dave Fetterman]"

If you meet any further problem, please feel free to post, thanks.

Best regards,
Jeffrey Tan

Jeffery,
Thanks for those links.  When I open up vs2005 I don't see a System Service
Template (search online templates just opens up help).  I do see an "add
system service" type and it added a class to my Forms project that inherits
from ServiceBase.

Anyway I'll read those links and maybe it will cover how to get that
template.

Hi Gary,

Thanks for your feedback.

I am not sure if you have successfully found the "Windows Service" project
type. Basically, below is the way to find it:

1. Choose File->New->Project....
2. Expand "Visual C#" node and select "Windows" subnode.
3. In the right side of the list panel, you will see an item with name
"Windows Service".

I have attached a screenshoot in this reply(WindowsService.jpg). You may
get it through Outlook Express.(Note: IE can not be used to see it)

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Jeffrey Tan
