A Windows Service Helper Library

A library that really speeds up the writting of a Windows Service

Developing a Windows Service Application can be very tricky and time consuming. Using the ServiceLib Library takes this burden away by providing a stable, simple and well documented API.

Developing Windows services never was an easy task. One can spend days to get no more than a wobbly service application. Too much time is spent on less significant thinks like getting the service properly registered into Windows and the most significant thinks like the job your service has to fulfill gets not the desired attention.

ServiceLib provides a lean and easy to use API that is simple and fully documented.

Easy-Control
The available functions enable easy install and remove of the Service. Start and Stop functions to activate or deactivate the Service. Query the presence of a Service application and the states is also supported.

The service application developed using the ServiceLib library can run under the SYSTEM account or any other specified user account. The available configuration allows to specify start options (Auto start, Manual start) and a user account to run under.

Using the ServiceLib API enables you to focus on the real job that the service application must perform. The service management itself (e.g. register, start, stop, remove) is perfectly handled by the ServiceLib Library.

Event-Driven
The ServiceLib library informs (if enabled) the Service through events about state transsitions so it can take dependent actions.

How easy is it to use ?
The learning curve is extremely low. Samples with source code also included in order to complete fast. Incorporating the ServiceLib Library in your Service takes only minutes and you can focus on the real job your Service must perform.
FREE technical support is also included.

How to develop an application which runs automatically?
If the application does not require a visible user interface then developing a service using the ServiceLib library produces a flexible and reliable solution fast. This service application is able to run at Windows startup prior to any user login.
