    NT service in VB.NET

    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.

    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
    - kurt

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