It's available in the Windows section of the c# project types and is called "Windows Service", although I'm not sure if it's installed by default in all versions of VS but would have thought it was in the professional edition.

I've re-read you question. Yes you can use your application as a service but not without some modification. If most of the functionality is in class libraries then your application (be it a console application or a windows service) acts as an entry point to your functionality. You will need to do some extra work around error reporting and service specific things like startup options but a basic introduction to windows services via google will help with this.
