Hi there.
I just installed VC++ 2005. I was using VC++ 6 before.
So I need to create a Windows Service. I tried to use wizard but code that
was generated seems to be a .Net related. In fact I expected that VC++ mean
normal VC++ just like it was in the early days. So currently I have two
questions:
1. How to create in VS 2005 Widows Service project that will be running just
ordinar VC++.
2. And second is there some good example of how to make a windows service.

Since I tried to search on google and response was to small. In fact I found
very few examples of windows service using VC++ 2005. So it looks like this
type of project is less common then just ASP.NET stuff... :-(

Thanks.

Hi,
I have always used the service example in the platform SDK. you can download
the SDK from the microsoft website
it is very simple and explains very clearly how to create a win32 service
application.

Ok, is it possible to use #import and MFC classes there?

The examples are just native C.
change the file extensions to cpp so that it is compiled as C++ code.
that will enable you to do anything you can do in a regular C++ program.
You will have to do some configuration because the examples are built via
make files, not project files.

maybe it is simpler to start a new MFC console application project and add
the service code to it. that way you do not have to configure the project
settings manually.

MFC console application is not available in VC++ 2005 so far. So I'll try to
make ordinar MFC application and integrate service methods there.
