Create a Windows Service in .net

Hi,

Following are the steps to create a basic windows service to write a file in .net:

include following namespaces:

using System.Text;

using System.IO;

using System.Timers;

Create a class level timer:

    private Timer timer = new Timer();

On Start Event:

    protected override void OnStart(string[] args)

    {

        timer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(TimerElapsed);

        timer.Interval = 10000;

        timer.Enabled = true;

    }

Create Event handler:

    private void TimerElapsed(object source, ElapsedEventArgs e)

    {

        Logger();

    }

Create function:

    public void Logger()

    {

        string mydocument =

      Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments);

        string[] txtList = Directory.GetFiles(mydocument, "*.txt");

        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

        string FileName = @"\log.txt";

        using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(mydocument + FileName))

        {

            sb.AppendLine(DateTime.Now.ToString());

            sb.AppendLine("---------------------------------------------");

            sb.Append(sr.ReadToEnd());

            sb.AppendLine();

        }

        using (StreamWriter outfile =

            new StreamWriter(mydocument + FileName))

        {

            outfile.Write(sb.ToString());

        }

    }

InstallUtil command to install the service:

    installutil ServicePath/Servicename.exe

To uninstall the service:

    installutil /u ServicePath/Servicename.exe
