C#: Running and Debugging a Windows Service

Question

I am currently building a Windows Service with C# and I just can\'t figure out how to debug it.

---

I am building it and then registering with installutil

Answer 1

Upon further research, I realized that I had no Installer attached to the service, so the problem was now fixed by adding an Installer.

Here is the tutorial I used to add a Service Installer and so on.

Answer 2

Try Task Manager and see if you see MusicRepo_FileMonitor.exe. If not, then the service is definitely not running.

Alternatively, in Visual Studio, Debug > Attach to Process, check show processes from all users, and see if its there.
