I want a single executable to be able to run as a Windows Service or from
the command line.

Is there a way to do this? How can I tell where I am being started from so I
can know how to load myself?

Thanks,

Jason
 
Thanks Dan.

That is what I thought but was hoping for a way without the command line
args.

Yes. Create a windows service project. Then in the ServiceBase, Sub Main
check for any command line args. You could use the args to determine how you
want your app to start. If you want it to run in command line mode, you
could use a windows form.
