First, create a new window service project.

For schedule service, we need to add
System.Timers.Timer to toolbox, and drag it into design mode.

Then, code something.
- using System;
- using System.Collections.Generic;
- using System.ComponentModel;
- using System.Data;
- using System.Diagnostics;
- using System.Linq;
- using System.ServiceProcess;
- using System.Text;
- using System.IO;
-
- namespace WindowServiceSample
- {
- public partial class Service1 : ServiceBase
- {
- public Service1()
- {
- InitializeComponent();
- }
-
- protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
- {
- // 服務啟動時執行
- this.EventLog.WriteEntry(System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory); // write current directory to event log
- }
-
- protected override void OnStop()
- {
- // 服務結束時執行
- }
-
- private void timer1_Elapsed(object sender, System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs e)
- {
- // 計時器, 依據設定間隔執行
- }
- }
- }
After coding, we need to add a installer for Window Service Installer.

There are two components needed to set,
serviceProcessInstaller and
serviceInstaller

Build the project and find the executable binary, enter the command below for installing.
- %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\installutil WindowServiceSample.exe
There will be a new service listed in Services.

For unstalling, enter command below:
- %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\installutil /u WindowServiceSample.exe
