What Is A Windows Service And How Does Its Lifecycle Differ From A "standard" Exe?

Answer»

Windows service is a application that RUNS in the background. It is equivalent to a NT service. The EXECUTABLE created is not a Windows application, and hence you can’t just click and run it . it needs to be INSTALLED as a service, VB.Net has a facility where we can add an installer to our program and then USE a utility to install the service. Whereas this is not the case with standard EXE.
