Windows Service debugger.

The extension is invoking only on DEBUG configuration(or DEBUG configuration descendants) through the code editor or the project's context menu in Solution Explorer.

The extension interacts with the shell and uses the sc command to [Install & Start] and [Stop & Uninstall] the windows service.

The service name in Services Console during the debugging session is the ServiceName property of theServiceBase class of the project.

Usage:

C#

protected override void OnStart(string[] args){#if DEBUG    System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Launch();#endif    base.OnStart(args);}

protected override void OnStart(string[] args){ #if DEBUG     System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Launch(); #endif     base.OnStart(args); }
