Windows Service Interface

[clarisoft]

Hi
Is it possible to write an C++ .NET "Windows Service" (from the wizard) and create an interface to it that other apps can use?

The VS6 ways was to create an ATL COM Service and add a COM Interface to it from that. Is it still the same?

Thanks in advance,

Steve (.NET newbie)

A Windows Service is a application that runs in an internal background kernel thread.
See here for discussion about services (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dllproc/base/services.asp)

And in my opinion an ATL Com Service is something different, but your service can provide an COM Interface, thats no problem though, but I have to avow that I have not tried it, and I am not shure if it works in your case :(
