| .NET Diagnostics – III, Enumerate System Services and Dependencies |
| The Code Project |
| This article shows how do you find out what all system services are running on the system and most importantly finding their dependencies. It’s the later part that I found very interesting. Every time I open the Services dialog box or Task Manager on my system to look what all services are running, I used to think what will happen if I shut down one of them to recover some resources. |

| Create and Control Windows Services |
| Visual Basic Programmers Journal |
| Windows Services (formerly known as NT Services) can seem overwhelming and daunting to the uninitiated because of a vast array of callback functions and long parameter lists. Even though creating services in C++ almost ensures top-notch performance, the complexity factor might outweigh that fact. However, with the recent release of the .NET Framework SDK, the complexity of creating and controlling services has diminished. |

| How to write a Windows Service |
| The Code Project |
| Remember how difficult was to create a Windows Service in Visual Studio 6? You had to create a wrapper for your programs in order to do that if you wanted to added to existing programs you had. With C# is easy, maybe too easy for me to spend time. Create a new project as select C# Windows Service in your .NET Editor. A template class should include almost everything you need. |

| Introduction to Windows Service Applications |
| MSDN |
| Microsoft Windows services, formerly known as NT services, enable you to create long-running executable applications that run in their own Windows sessions. These services can be automatically started when the computer boots, can be paused and restarted, and do not show any user interface. 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. 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. For more information about services and Windows sessions, see the "About Services" section in the Platform SDK documentation in MSDN Online. |

| C#Today |
| Administering applications and servers when not connected to the network can be a nightmare, especially when only a few people manage the application. Just imagine going out for an evening on the town and then you’re paged at one o’clock in the morning with an alarming message that your application has gone down. For companies without Virtual Private Networks (VPN) the task is even more difficult because now you must come to the office to rescue your application. |

| Programmatically Managing Windows Services & Device Drivers with C# |
| C#Today |
| An impressive feature of the .NET framework is the support and management features that .NET offers for Windows Services. The .NET framework provides an extensive set of class libraries for managing Windows Services, which go beyond the Services MMC snapin in Windows 2000 and allow us to manage low level device drivers programmatically, or start and stop multiple services at the same time. In this article, Jim Joy walks us through the anatomy of a windows service and build a Service Device Manager, a Win32 application giving us the ability to manage the services and lowlevel device drivers that are running on your Windows machine. |

| Windows Service Management |
| The Code Project |
| When I was reading the MSDN.NET library, I found an interesting topic about windows services. So I tried to build an application by myself about windows service management. This idea comes from the service application that Microsoft has built in the control panel. I hope this application can be become useful. |

| Windows Services Simplified in .NET - Part 2 |
| DotNetJunkies |
| In Part 1, Keyuan discussed how to create service applications and how to install the service apps using the project installer class. In Part 2, he will cover how to create a Service Control Program (SCP), a separate executable, that provides an UI to communicate with and control the service app. |

| Windows Services: New Base Classes in .NET Make Writing a Windows Service Easy |
| MSDN |
| Windows services are applications that run outside of any particular user context in Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows XP. The creation of services used to require expert coding skills and generally required C or C++. Visual Studio .NET now makes it easy for you to create a Windows service, whether you're writing code in C++, C#, or Visual Basic. You can also write a Windows service in any other language that targets the common language runtime. This article walks you through the creation of a useful Windows service, then demonstrates how to install, test, and debug the service. |
