This is a link to the MS site for a sample service app.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/devprods/vs6/visualc/vcsample/vcsmpservicesamp
le.htm

There's also some example code available in the MSVC (v5 - I presume its in v6
too) on-line help:

mk:@ivt:pdwbase/native/sdk/win32/sys/src/services_8.htm

Check out the stuff on the Service Control Manager (SCM) for how to install a
service through code. There used to be a sample which implemented the service
code as a C++ class, but I've mislaid it - If I come across it I'll pass it on.
(The only  downside of a class implementation is that the ServiceMain function
has to be a static function in your class, which then involves a lot of passing
around of 'this' pointers.)

Here is the source code for our NT service. What's missing is code to shut down
the service when it stopped, as well as to register the server with NT.

We use INSTSRV.EXE, which is available in the NT Resource Kit (the 3.5 ResKit is
- or was recently - still available on Microsoft's FTP site. Some of the apps
don't run under 4.0, but many still do). But it would be a lot cleaner if the
app could register itself as a service. Maybe someone else can contribute that
code?

Dietmar
