#WINDOWS COPY LOG HOW TO#
I’ve searched well so many sites about a code that I can with the help of it, build a simple Windows service, but I found a lot of code on how to manage the current Windows services of the system and that’s through the ServiceController class.Īfter searching the MSDN, I’ve found some nice code that helped me to create this simple Windows service. Windows services don’t have any interface to the user, so it can not be debugged like any regular application, but it’s debugged as a process.NET has a very nice tool that enables processes debugging while it’s in the run status, by easily pressing Ctrl + Alt + P shortcut. You can also run services in the security context of a specific user account that is different from the logged-on user or the default computer account. This makes services ideal for use on a server or whenever you need long-running functionality that does not interfere with other users who are working on the same computer. As a matter of fact Microsoft Windows services, formerly known as NT services enable you to create long-running executable applications that run in its own Windows session, which then has the ability to start automatically when the computer boots and also can be manually paused, stopped or even restarted.
