The Question is how do you Display a Form ?

Form1 frm1 = new Form1();

frm1.Show();

i have not been doing win apps for a while now , but that is how its done. My point is that need to create that form first and show it later.

They now need more and more expensive clerks even though they call them "Developers" or "Programmers."

Windows services don't interact with the user using UI.In fact they are "background" processes and it's not not safe to control the UI outside of the default drawing pool.If you need to control the service programatically define your own custom commands and send them to the service using ServiceController.ExecuteCommand method.See this sample.And if you need to report for some errors use the event log.

In service properties at Log On tab "Allow Service to interact with desktop" should be checked.
