Windows Service Project Type 1

[EnemyGateIsDown]

Hi Guys,

I need to develop a windows service and it appears that there should be a windows service project type in Visual Studio 2003.

However my project types list for a new project does not include it ??

Can anyone tell me how I can get this added to my list?

Any help is as always greatly appreciateed.

Cheers,

Chris

what version of visual studio do you have? If you have the standar then you are out of luck.

Nope proffessional will do.

Or you need to use the commandline compiler to compile. You can just make them in notepad and then compile them via the commandline compiler. I think you can even make them in VS standard just by inheriting the correct thingies and then compile them via the commandline compiler.

Or you could use sharpdevelop

The classes needed to create a service are in the framework, and are available to any edition of Visual Studio. What's missing is the project wizard to assist you in creating them.

While creating a service project from scratch is hard, I don't know if it's worth the price of an upgrade.
