VC++ application as exe and service

[akmba78]

I need to develop a VC++ application which has no user interface and just performs operations on the database on incoming data.

How do I develop a application for this purpose and also run this from console window (but not a console application) ?

Also if necessary, How do I convert this application developed as exe in to a service ?

Userful Inputs and suggestions needed please..
