Thanks for reply,

Ok to elaborate a little on where I am.

I found the following example in the SDK docs witch I customised a litttle:
------- Code excerpt Begin-----------
using System;
using System.ServiceProcess;

public class MyService : System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase
{
}

public MyService()
{
 this.Servicename = "KoersTracker";
 this.CanStop = true;
 this.CanPauseAndContinue = true;
 this.Autolog = true;
}

public static void Main()
{
 System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase.Run(new MyService());
}

protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
{
 //Insert code here to define processing.
}
------- Code excerpt End -----------
When I build this get an error at "public class JurService :
System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase" it says  :"Expected
class,delegate,enum,interface or struct".
It seems like the class isn't recognised.
Maybe important to know, I created the project as a C#  Appllication. I
stripped everything from the main source file and inserted the code found
above.

I also found some stuff on ProcessInstaller and ServiceprocessInstaller do I
put it in the same sourcefile?(I think not).

The main problem I have is:
How do I build the project, file wise. As far as I can see now, you need:
A sourcefile with the subclass of ServiceBase and a handler for the OnRun
method.
A sourcefile witch controls installation of the service (do I also need the
ServiceProcessInstaller class when I install only one service?

Still unclear:
I wanted to build(compile) the project in this state of progress just to see
if I got the syntax right, but the error I got leads me to assume there's
already a syntax problem.
I don't know what you mean by "you will need to spawn a thread........" what
is ment with "thread" in this context?
What files will I eventually have (or need) in the project?

Again thanks for reply, I hope this mail makes it a little more clear where
I'm coming from....
