Windows Service in C# | How to create, install, and use a service

In this video, we are going to look at how to create a Windows Service in C#, how to run and how to install it.
Windows service is a computer program that runs in the background to execute some tasks. Some examples of Windows services are auto update of Windows, check emails, print documents, SQL Server agent, file and folder scanning and indexing and so on. If you open your Task Manager and click on Services tab, you will see hundreds of services running on your machine. You can also see the statuses of these services. Some services are running, some have paused, and some have stopped. You can start, stop, and pause a service by right click on the service.

Hi,
Can you please show how to check the service whether it is running or not through code? Scenario: Check whether Service A is running or not - If not run another Service B.
Please reply.

[@naokmoon1487]

11 who dislike this video.. I think they are arts background not programmer

[@Nicetrycutiepie]

thank you for clear and detailed explanation, can you please let me know how to control i.e if size of text is grown big how to add a condition to create a new file once the limit is reached?

[@JayantT]

Better is that you should create the text file according to the date. And still if the size is increased and the old text file is not required then you can put a condition that can make delete the previous date file.

[@Nicetrycutiepie]

If I am wrong, then can you be specify your question again, should you want the windows service process flow diagram or any.

Hi thanks for your video, pls tell me how to use Windows Service in Asp.Net WebForm?

[@JayantT]

Hey Dear, Windows service main sole purpose to use that the application runs in the background and excute some task. I guess there is no option to use windows service use in Web Form. However you can use Quartz Schedular in Web Server. Please go through the below link

[@jameswcollett]

I'm sorry; this is terrible. There are so many questions that are just left unanswered, since there are no explanations of the rather obscure syntax. I come away more confused about Windows Services than before I watched this video.For example, what is the "start" object in the following line? -
Worker = new Thread(start);

[@JayantT]

Start method is the initialisation and Thread is use to run in worker process for running in some intervals. For more details go through the article. Also you can find there source code.
