Creating a Service

[ChewDoggie]

Hi All,

Is it possible to create a Service in C#? I'm talking about a service like the ones seen in Task Manager's "Processes" tab and not a Web Service.

Currently, I've written a Window's Form app that is not visible in the task bar and starts "minimized". I have a feeling this solution is not what I want.

Thanks !

C# is syntax, a Windows service is an OS component. there is not direct co relation between the 2. to answer your question; you can create a windows service project in VS using any .net language you like.

if you are not using VS you will need to manually reference objects within the System.ServiceProcess assembly/namespace to define the service and the System.Configuration.Install to build the service installer. there are examples online for more details.
