Problem is that Visual Studio 2008 does not have Windows Service project and you can not add it and create a setup for this project.
To override this use manual approach:
1. Create your service class manually:
using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.ServiceProcess;
namespace WindowsService
{
class WindowsService : ServiceBase
{
///
/// Public Constructor for WindowsService.
/// - Put all of your Initialization code here.
///
public WindowsService()
{
this.ServiceName = "My Windows Service";
this.EventLog.Log = "Application";
// These Flags set whether or not to handle that specific
// type of event. Set to true if you need it, false otherwise.
this.CanHandlePowerEvent = true;
this.CanHandleSessionChangeEvent = true;
this.CanPauseAndContinue = true;
this.CanShutdown = true;
this.CanStop = true;
}
///
/// The Main Thread: This is where your Service is Run.
///
static void Main()
{
ServiceBase.Run(new WindowsService());
}
///
/// Dispose of objects that need it here.
///
///
Whether
/// or not disposing is going on.
protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
{
base.Dispose(disposing);
}
///
/// OnStart(): Put startup code here
/// - Start threads, get inital data, etc.
///
///
protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
{
base.OnStart(args);
}
///
/// OnStop(): Put your stop code here
/// - Stop threads, set final data, etc.
///
protected override void OnStop()
{
base.OnStop();
}
///
/// OnPause: Put your pause code here
/// - Pause working threads, etc.
///
protected override void OnPause()
{
base.OnPause();
}
///
/// OnContinue(): Put your continue code here
/// - Un-pause working threads, etc.
///
protected override void OnContinue()
{
base.OnContinue();
}
///
/// OnShutdown(): Called when the System is shutting down
/// - Put code here when you need special handling
/// of code that deals with a system shutdown, such
/// as saving special data before shutdown.
///
protected override void OnShutdown()
{
base.OnShutdown();
}
///
/// OnCustomCommand(): If you need to send a command to your
/// service without the need for Remoting or Sockets, use
/// this method to do custom methods.
///
///
Arbitrary Integer between 128 & 256
protected override void OnCustomCommand(int command)
{
// A custom command can be sent to a service by using this method:
//# int command = 128; //Some Arbitrary number between 128 & 256
//# ServiceController sc = new ServiceController("NameOfService");
//# sc.ExecuteCommand(command);
base.OnCustomCommand(command);
}
///
/// OnPowerEvent(): Useful for detecting power status changes,
/// such as going into Suspend mode or Low Battery for laptops.
///
///
The Power Broadcast Status
/// (BatteryLow, Suspend, etc.)
protected override bool OnPowerEvent(PowerBroadcastStatus powerStatus)
{
return base.OnPowerEvent(powerStatus);
}
///
/// OnSessionChange(): To handle a change event
/// from a Terminal Server session.
/// Useful if you need to determine
/// when a user logs in remotely or logs off,
/// or when someone logs into the console.
///
///
The Session Change
/// Event that occured.
protected override void OnSessionChange(
SessionChangeDescription changeDescription)
{
base.OnSessionChange(changeDescription);
}
}
}
2. Add installer class:
using System;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Configuration.Install;
using System.ServiceProcess;
namespace WindowsService
{
[RunInstaller(true)]
public class WindowsServiceInstaller : Installer
{
///
/// Public Constructor for WindowsServiceInstaller.
/// - Put all of your Initialization code here.
///
public WindowsServiceInstaller()
{
ServiceProcessInstaller serviceProcessInstaller =
new ServiceProcessInstaller();
ServiceInstaller serviceInstaller = new ServiceInstaller();
//# Service Account Information
serviceProcessInstaller.Account = ServiceAccount.LocalSystem;
serviceProcessInstaller.Username = null;
serviceProcessInstaller.Password = null;
//# Service Information
serviceInstaller.DisplayName = "My New C# Windows Service";
serviceInstaller.StartType = ServiceStartMode.Automatic;
//# This must be identical to the WindowsService.ServiceBase name
//# set in the constructor of WindowsService.cs
serviceInstaller.ServiceName = "My Windows Service";
this.Installers.Add(serviceProcessInstaller);
this.Installers.Add(serviceInstaller);
}
}
}
3. Use Framework 2.0 instalutil.exe to create Installation:
Install.bat
@ECHO OFF
REM The following directory is for .NET 2.0
set DOTNETFX2=%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727
set PATH=%PATH%;%DOTNETFX2%
echo Installing WindowsService...
echo ---------------------------------------------------
InstallUtil /i WindowsService.exe
echo ---------------------------------------------------
echo Done.
Uninstall.bat
@ECHO OFF
REM The following directory is for .NET 2.0
set DOTNETFX2=%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727
set PATH=%PATH%;%DOTNETFX2%
echo Installing WindowsService...
echo ---------------------------------------------------
InstallUtil /u WindowsService.exe
echo ---------------------------------------------------
echo Done.
