RE: [Microsofts_C_Sharp] How to debug a windows service application

[Matt Evans]

You need to attach to the process after the service has started. I used to put a 20 sec delay in the start method to allow me to attach to the process in the start code.   Another alternative would be to make your code a class library that has the same entry points, e.g. start, stop etc.   Then the service application can call these methods, and also make say a console app that calls the same methods that you can use as the test application and debug everything there.   HTH   Matt   From: Microsofts_C_Sharp@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Krishnan Sent: 22 September 2005 07:58 Cc: visual_studio_dotnet; Microsofts_C_Sharp; dotnetsig; c-sharp-programming; CSharpNET; csharp; C_Sharp_World; AspNetAnyQuestionIsOk; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Microsofts_C_Sharp] How to debug a windows service application     Hi,   Is it possible to debug a windows service application.
