Hi I developed a Windows Application. Now I want to run it as a windows Service . Is there any facility or statements(code) to run the application as a service. Please tell me. Thanks in Advance. Ramu Medida
Hi, Windows service dosent have a GUI. So if you want to run Windows application as windows service there are 2 ways of doing it ( atleast, i know this much only ) 1) Create a new windows service. copy all code from windows application to the newly create service (without any GUI related code, but satisfying the business logic). Install the service. Run it. 2) Just hide the windows application to a tray icon. In this way, you dont need to copy code. But then the application itself should be bbuilt in such a way that it dosent get stuck for user interaction for its process to continue, but when interrupted, should respond to the user. I dont know why you want to shift from windows application to windows service. if you could specify some details, then it would be easier to give some specific advice.
