Description
This course teaches you how to create Windows Service which is a key component of the Windows operating system.
The course is divided into various sections.
In section one, you will learn the definition and anatomy of a Windows Service. You will also understand the difference between a Windows Service and other application types like Windows Forms.
In section two you will create a Windows Service project, and utilize installutil to install or uninstall a service.
After this, you will open the Event Viewer to see the events… generated by your newly born service.
In section three you will learn how to debug a Windows Service.
You will also see how to integrate the Log4Net logging library into your service project. It’s a free & open-source library and it lets you generate a rolling log file.
In the next section, you will look into a few real-world scenarios like a file synchronization service and a periodic data update service. You will also learn how to create an installer project for easy setup and installation of a Windows Service.
Windows Services are run not only on Windows Servers but on desktop machines as well. Their usefulness is universal.
In the final section, we are going to create an admin application for a Windows Service. This application will have the ability to start/stop service and get service status as well.
Please note that this course will not freeze in time, I will keep adding interesting and useful ideas with the passage of time.
