How to call onstart method in windows service c

Over the last couple of months I've gotten a surprising number of questions asking about the same thing: how to debug a Windows Service like you would debug a normal Window Forms application.

There are lots of hacks to pseudo-debug a Windows service like running your code from a console, or even adding a massive amount of logging throughout your code.

But what if you need to run your Windows Service as it normally runs (i.e.

as an actual service) in order to track down bugs?

The good news is that's there's a little snippet of code to make debugging Windows Services a snap. The first thing to do is to add the following function to your app:

C#

/// <summary>Helper function to attach a debugger to the running service.</summary>
[Conditional("DEBUG")]
static void DebugMode()
{
if (!Debugger.IsAttached)
Debugger.Launch(); Debugger.Break();
}

Visual Basic .NET

''' <summary>Helper function to attach a debugger to the running service.</summary>
<Conditional("DEBUG")>
Shared Sub DebugMode()
If Not Debugger.IsAttached Then
Debugger
