You can't use the IDE with a service. This is where old-fashioned debugging comes in handy. Write out errors or app state to a log file or the event log.
Log4Net is very handy in this case. I also find it helpful to write the functional parts of a complicated service in their own assembly and test them from a console or windows app. Which allows me to use the IDE to debug. The service app itself is limited to the service-specific functionality. On 9/22/05, Krishnan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > Is it possible to debug a windows service application.
