For using windows services i guess u need to all the required references and namespaces.

This is the error i got

Cannot start service from the command line or a debugger. A Windows Service must first be installed(using installutil.exe) and then started with the ServerExplorer, Windows Services Administrative tool or the NET START command.

S vasu i checked with services before i run the project there is no services like that.....

I think, before running the exe of that project i have to do install process in command prompt. Becoz of that i got tht error.

Hi Ani

For testing a service, you must have to build a project which is not a service, just for testing. This must have to be a class....

When everything is fine, you then you can put the class into a new service.

For installing in .NET 2 after the installer, you must have to call InstallUtil.exe [servicename] (standard part of .NET framework in the base directory) which will install the service for the target machine.

For removing: stop the service, and call InstallUtil.exe /u [servicename] before running the uninstaller.

I Promise this will help you.
