  • About Me:
    Designed and developed systems for Windows XP doing ATM transaction processing. Conversant C/C++, C#, SQL, & 80x86 embedded code. Used TCP, X.25, SDLC, and BiSync/Async comms protocols (point to point and multi-point) to communicate with ATMs and financial networks. Worked with Unix in the late 70S and early 80s. DOS for a few years, then Windows. Back again to my roots with Ubuntu Linux 10.04 and running Windows XP in a virtual machine with VirtualBox under Linux.

    Man, That's like falling off a log! Thanks for the help. I've been using VC6.0 (Studio 2000) to create services because that is the only way I knew how to do it. It was involved, but not too difficult to do. I never found an instructional way to do it in C# under VS2005 --- until now..

    All the services I write just spawn threads to do TCP things for me - no advanced service stuff. Now I have a way to install & control a service for me where I can just worry about the problem rather than having to deal (every time) with all the plumbing required to make my code a service.

    Again, thanks for the help.
