i have created a windows service using VS2005 and installed it using the installutil.exe. I used the following command to install the service:

installutil /name=MyService /user=<username> /password=<password> <servcieexecutable>

After executing this command I get the output as:

The Commit phase completed successfully.

The transacted install has completed.

But still I can not see the service in services.msc window not Can I see any registry entries for this service. I have admin Privilege on my machine.

Any pointers??

PS: I am using following code to create the service:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.ServiceProcess;
using System.Text;
using System.Collections;
using System.Configuration;
using System.IO;
namespace TestService
{
public partial class myService : ServiceBase
{
public myService()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
{
FileStream fs = new FileStream(@"c:\temp\mcWindowsService.txt",
FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write);
StreamWriter m_streamWriter = new StreamWriter(fs);
m_streamWriter.BaseStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.End);
m_streamWriter.WriteLine(" mcWindowsService: Service Started \n");
m_streamWriter.Flush();
m_streamWriter.Close();
}
/// <summary>
/// Stop this service.
/// </summary>
protected override void OnStop()
{
FileStream fs = new FileStream(@"c:\temp\mcWindowsService.txt",
FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write);
StreamWriter m_streamWriter = new StreamWriter(fs);
m_streamWriter.BaseStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.End);
m_streamWriter.WriteLine(" mcWindowsService: Service Stopped \n"); m_streamWriter.Flush();
m_streamWriter.Close();
}

}
}

Have you correctly set the properties of ServiceProcessInstaller and ServiceInstaller1 in your installer class ?

Most of your message is missing. There are inpout32,dll files on cP, along with instructions. I had no trouble using them in C#.

Hi I have XP prof. version 2002 with SP 3 installed.

I try to develop an FTP application but i now unsecure about my "FTP-server"

I have installed Internet Information Services (IIS 5.1) and setup and configured as it should be (i think). This is the problem "I think" !

I dont know in first place, can i have a FTP-site on my machine or must i have another machine with Win Server 2003 or 2008 ?

You see - when i log in with my appl. i get the message "user test cannot log in" ALL the time.

I probably got lost in the user account settings ?

Anyone knows ?

With kind regards

It seems that you need to start with your basics as far as the .net technologies are concerned. So I would recommend you to acquire some knowledge before you start your project by buying some good books on .net and referring online materials.

They are basically identical. They compile to the same MSIL, and the differences between the languages are minor, and unlikely to affect a project like this. So, go with what you feel comfortable with.

They are both much of a muchness. Which one is preferable is based on which ever you prefer using. Or if you are needing to hire developers, which ever one has a supply of good quality (assuming that's what you want) developers in your area.

Thanks colin . i am C++ developer and i am familiar with .net but not a expert . But after reading these replies some question got in my mind . may be if it out of topic just ignore my question.

my question in what areas does C# and VB.net defer , is it just programmer preference ? or is there any functional areas where these two will be defer ?

if my question is too much then pls ignore it .

Thank you very much for you time.

There are minor differences in the code that is generated by the compiler, but nothing that would get me worked up. The product groups have a policy to keep the two languages broadly in sync, but there are some differences. e.g. VB9 has inline XML - In other words you can write XML in the language and it will create a proper DOM for it. In C# you have to create the objects or parse an XML string to get to the same DOM.

They way I look at it is that there are about 100 differences (style/syntactic) and over 100,000 identical things (the methods on the .NET Framework)

I'm absolutly not a expert on the subject, but my friends tell me that you get a lot of hangups when using multi threeds in VB.Net but never in C#.

To be frank the tell me 'u get hangups multi threeding in VB.NET ... i doesn't work'

So I say use C# because you probably sooner or later like to use this solutions.
