how can i make my application work as windows service?

[anupamak]

Hello,

I am developing an application in VC++.Net and windows xp using the setupapi, which has to work as windows service.

Actually, in the beginning, my application was developed in VC++.Net, MFC with GUI. But now i am decoupling the GUI and want to make the application work as windows service.

As a part of this, I have created my application using the windows service template. But when i embedded the files such as Dbt.h and my own files..etc files but when i compile it i am getting lots of lots of errors telling that DWORD, CString etc are not compatible in the Dbt.h header file of DDK.

Please can u tell me what would be the problem.

My project is to make the MY WINDOWS service sense the USB plug-in and do some necessary work.. for this i am using SetupAPI.

Please let me know.. if anyone of u have any solution..

Thank you
Anoo
