How to Create a Windows Service Using C# and Visual Studio!

A windows service is a piece of software that runs in the background of your computer typically without a GUI or significant user interaction. They can be used for thousands of different applications, and in this video we cover how to create one using Microsoft Visual Studio and C# code!

If you have any questions or want to see some code on how to make a service that does something specific just drop it in the comments below!

Thanks a bunch. You just gave what I was looking for. Please keep on posting C# practical problems like this. Thanks again for this lovely video. 💯

Thank you so much! I'm creating a windows service that preforms a function every 8 hours. The problem is it doesn't trigger the function on starting the service. Instead, it works once the 8 hours is passed! I want it to get the function started on starting the service and then wait for the 8 hours to perform it for the second time. I followed the same code in the video with a different functionality.

Thia is the best tutorial on C# i've seen in a long time. Please make More C# videos bro. Thank you

Wow, that was easy! I decided to use batch files for the install and uninstall commands. Now, I'd like my service to start automatically when I log into windows. Thanks for the quick tutorial!

Thanks for this video! I was struggling to create a dummy windows service for one of my test cases, I had not touched windows over last 10 years. This came in super handy! ❤

Really nice tips in the video. Also I would like to see a tutorial of how to do whatever I want with Fn keys for example to open google or to turn off a touchpad if I'm in a laptop.

Loved the video! Simple, concise, and easy to digest for someone who is learning (aka myself).

I was wondering how to create a Windows service.

Awesome video man, just subscribed to the channel! If possible, I'd like to see more C# coding on a practical use case in an enterprise like environment. Something basic like an FTP or file drop that executes a notification or something basic of the sort would be great material.

Looking forward to more content!

Hi LeMaster Tech, thank you very much for posting this. Im not actually a programmer but system administrator and from the side of servers admining i want to say that many admins require to run powershell scripts as exe file and run it as a service. Im sure that many of us and especially me would say thank you if you could make some tutorial of how to include powershell script(more than 100 lines) into C# code and run it is as a service. Many thanks one again.

[agusridani]

[nikhilkamble]

Great video, but then there is deploying the service where you don't have VS. I would imagine it's just using the SC command or the powershell add service command which would be a great add to this video

[thepriestofvaranasi]

You explained it very nicely! Could you please make a few more videos on services? Like let's say 5 popular windows services or something like that?
