Answer / swapna
Windows service is a application that runs in the
background. It is equivalent to a NT service.
The executable created is not a Windows application, and
hence you can't just click and run it .
it needs to be installed as a service, VB.Net has a
facility where we can add an installer to our program and
then use a utility to install the service. Where as this is
not the case with standard exe.

Answer / waqas
Windows Service applications are long-running applications
that are ideal for use in server environments. The
applications do not have a user interface or produce any
visual output. Any user messages are typically written to
the Windows Event Log. Services can be automatically started
when the computer is booted. They do not require a logged in
user in order to execute and can run under the context of
any user including the system. Windows Services are
controlled through the Service Control Manager where they
can be stopped, paused, and started as needed.
