Hi Friends

What is Window Services in .Net ? and what is the purpose of it?

Windows service is a program that runs in the background (usually with no visual interface). It is also called NT service.
Itis handled by Service Control Manager (SCM does all taks considering services, like installing/uninstalling them, starting, stoping, pausing, enumerating, showing status, etc). Service must be installed in the Windows service database (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services) before it can be launched.

To see which servises are running, go to Control Panel - Administrator Tools - Computer Management - Services and Application - Services.
