Hello all,
Never really have to code anything related to service before. My company's software does use service, but never really crossed my code, was working mostly on device integration and interop parts.
Okay, what is service? I really, really don't understand what is it. From wiki: "On Microsoft Windows operating systems, a Windows service is a long-running executable that performs specific functions and it is designed not to require user intervention.". How is this different than an application that is left running on the background? What's the motivation behind having a service instead of a normal running process?
A for-dummies version type of explanation would really help. Thank you in advance.![:)]()
