Starting service from another

[SatyaDY]

Hi, I want to debug my service, from Onstart() and in MSDN says we need to create another service (dummy) to call the main service, which I need to debug. How to call a service from another service?? Regards, Satya

Actually, you can use any application and then use the ServiceController to reference and start your service. This allows you time to attach to a process (or start the process that starts your service) so that you can debug the service all the way from OnStart. If you don't do it this way, all you can do is attach to a running process (your service). By the time the process has started, OnStart has already been called. That's the reason for a separate process to start the service.
