Exe Vs Windows Service

I want to create a TCP Remote Server in C#. What is the
best way to go about? Whether to make it as a Single Exe
with icon in the System Tray OR write it as Windows
Service? Please advise.
Thank you in advance

Hi Shani,
Window service is always better for making remote server at time of final
deployement, thats more professional approach. As in case of exe it can be
easily stopped by anyone.
But during development an console application exe helps u to trace the
program execution.

additionally using the service would enable you to improve the functionality
of the remote server by providing handlers for pausing and resuming the
service.
