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.

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 Log4Net logging library into your service project. Its a free & open source library and it lets you generate a rolling log file.

Windows Services are run not only on Windows Servers but on desktop machines as well. Their usefulness is universal.
