In the .NET Framework, we can find service classes in the System.ServiceProcess namespace that implement the three parts of a service:
-
We inherit from the ServiceBase class to implement a service. The ServiceBase class is used to register the service and answer start and stop requests .
-
The ServiceController class is used to implement a service control program. With this class we can send requests to services.
-
The ServiceProcessInstaller and ServiceInstaller classes are, as the names suggest, classes to install and configure service programs.
Now we are ready to create a new service.
