Creating a Windows Service with Vb.net and Visual Studio 2005

73 New Member
How can I create a windows service to keep a program running with vb.net and visual studio. I have created a windows application that I have used the Onclick publish of visual studio 2005 and I now need to convert the project to a windows service so that it will run continuosly with out having a user login to the windows XP. I have never worked with windows services before so have no clue as to how they work so any help will be appreciated thanks

I created a Crystal Report, set up the data connection (using the Wizard -selected from an existing project datasource which, by the way, works fine on my Datagrids). The report preview, however, outputs absolute junk. The FirstName field populates with colors (Green, Silver, Fuchsia, etc), the LastName field...

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
