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"

"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,

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,

Ok, if you need any further help, please feel free to tell me, thanks.
