Service project

[Curious]

I have a .NET project whose final products are two background services
that you can see, start, or stop in the "Services" panel.

I have a folder containing the executables in the form of .dll
and .exe. How can I use the executables to start the services?

You have to use the .Net Framework Service Controller in code.

Re: Service project

They're both defined as sub-classes of
"System.Service Process.Service Base". I've built the executables. But
don't know how to get the services started.

This is how I have done it which works the same way in VB or C#.Net

Dim theServiceContr oller as System.ServiceP rocess.ServiceC ontroller
me.theServiceCo ntroller = New System.ServiceP rocess.ServiceC ontroller()
me.theServiceCo ntroller.Machin eName = "Curious"
me.theServiceCo ntroller.Servic eName = "CuriousService "

if (theServiceCont roller.Status = ServiceControll erStatus.Stoppe d) then
theServiceContr oller.Start()
end if
