Apress eBooks · 2006
SummaryAdmittedly, this chapter has simplified the coding of Windows services, but you should be well on your way to understanding Windows services after reading it. The chapter started by discussing what a Windows service is and its three parts: service application, service configuration application, and service control application. You moved on by creating a simple Service application. You then saw how to implement a service configuration application using the ServiceProcessInstaller and ServiceInstaller classes. Next, you saw how to use the Windows-provided service control application called the Services application and how to write your own. Finally, you saw two methods for debugging your Windows services.In the next chapter, you’ll explore a different kind of service, the Web service.
