NT service in VB.NET

[kurtsimons]

Just started looking at VB.net

I noticed there is a project template called

"Windows Service"

does this mean the VB.Net can easily create a True NT service unlike the NTSVR.OCX which is only a friendly hack.

Yes you can create real services REAL easily.

God Bless,

I am having an issue with a service that I wrote with VB 6, On a windows server platform its disk I/O is running 30x slower than the same app running on a workstation.

If VB.NET solves this it will pay for itself day 1.

thanks

Sorry to keep banging on about this book...

But it's got a short walk-through on creating a service.

I must agree, the book mentioned above has a great little tutorial for Windows Services.....
