I'll assume that you're talking about managed code here. Regular applications have an entry point that gets called when they are run. Services, on the other hand, may not be started by double clicking them because they typically don't have that standard application entry point. Instead, they have an entry point that the service control manager (SCM) understands. The SCM is what starts and stops service processes.
It's fairly easy to convert one to the other. However, does your app have a user interface (this even includes message boxes)? If so, it's not a good candidate to run as a service.
If you want to see how to make a service, there's a good template service project in VS. There's also a good article here[^] on how to make a version of a service that can be debugged.

Thnks for comment
But what im trying to do is that im writing a program (say a program which never allows Solitare application to execute as im lab Administrator) but i want that program to be loaded as service for 2 reasons:
1. I dont want it to be enlisted in Task Manager
2. I want to learn to create services and convert process to service and vice-versa
hoping some reply soon

This is better handled by Group Policy, not an application. You can't stop an .EXE from launching, you can only scan the Process list once in a while and quit the app if you find it.

Services don't hide from Task Manager. There's nothing you can do to hide from the Task List.

Then learn how to write Console apps. You can use them to test the main code of your service, then, if done properly, you can write the service manager code around that.
There really isn't any path to "convert" an app to a service or the other way around. Both types of applications are purpose written to be what they are, and do not lend themselves to be "converted" as you put it.

Agreed I have 2 search the process list and quit the application
Thanks for letting me know that there is no way to convert service to process and vice-versa
Further, Im confused with those services loaded by svchost.exe which is not shown by task manager. im trying to do the same thing but how i dont know.
Can u post some little code in VB6(preferably as im in fine touch now) or VC++ of the SERVICE and a methode to invoke it

VB6 can't make a service. It can make a normal Windows app, but it has to be written specially to be able to run LIKE a service using a 3rd party control. You can find out more here[^].
SVCHOST is a generic service "shell", or host process, that loads and executes services in .DLL files. A single instance of SVCHOST can host multiple services at the same time. These types of services you would have to write in VC++.

I would start by posting this on the ASP.NET forum, rather than this one which is for article ideas.

Slartibartfast - "No. That's perfectly normal paranoia. Everybody in the universe gets that."

I'm looking for some DOS/Win32 software that will emulate a Bell 103 and ITU-T v.21 modem that uses a WAVE format file or a computer's sound card for the modulation/demodulation audio signal output/input. Any known software or help on how to do this would be appreciated.
Also, If you want some compensation for writting some code like this, check out the SEEK300 Coding Competition 2006:
The SEEK300 Coding Competition 2006 is now on! It is hosted by oblyvaeon.com and Everyone who enters will receive at least 2 prizes (see contest details). Enter soon; the prizes will ship in time for Christmas, Yule, The Holidays, X-day, or whatever politically correct term you choose to call it. Even if you're not a big oblyvaeon fan, check out the "Robots are stealing my luggage" shirt for a prize. The objective of this contest is to code a Bell 103/ITU-T v.21 300 baud modem emulator which will operate on a Win32 platform.

If you know someone who might be interested in this, please let them know!

Carried from OT Core2 thread: http://www.codeproject.com/lounge.asp?msg=1721789#xx1721789xx[^]
I have to be careful what I write in so far as articles go, because of issues at work. But I don't think multi-threaded issues are a direct association with my work, at least not so much as graphics would be.
I have been writing multi-threaded asynch/synch and even massively parallel code for about 15 years now, but it is just "background" (if you forgive the pun) to my primary job. Is there something specific you think would benefit Code-project members?

There are tons of articles how to work with multiple threads, its traps and pitfals, etc.
However, there's next to no applied information on how to design and implement algorithms that scale well under parallelization. I'm exactly loking for that.
My motivation for asking: I think parellel execution will be Moores Law of the next decade(s). Chip density hits physical limits, and while alternative approaches are "in the thinking", they'll take many years to ripen and some more to become a mass produced commodity. In the meantime, multiple CPUs (virtual or real) is all we will get.

as in my parallel version of a builder design pattern designed to run multiple builders in parallel and scale based on work given?
