Configure a console application to a Windows Service

Can anyone give me any hints on how to do this. I already have a
console app that I have to start manually but I want to configure it
to run as a windows service.

be Its relatively simple.
Create a new Windows Service application, change the code in your console
app to a class library, and in the services OnStart method, create an
instance of your class on a separate background thread and call its
"whateveritDoes" method.
