Windows Service Without VS2005 Template

If you can cut and paste, an example is enough.

A simple service for periodically registering the status of another service. The example does not contain the ServiceInstaller class (which is called by the installer when installing the service application), so the installation is manual.

namespace SrvControl
{
    public partial class Service1 : ServiceBase
    {
        Timer mytimer;
        public Service1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
        {
            if (mytimer == null)
                mytimer = new Timer(5 * 1000.0);
            mytimer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(mytimer_Elapsed);
            mytimer.Start();
        }

        void mytimer_Elapsed(object sender, ElapsedEventArgs e)
        {
            var srv = new ServiceController("MYSERVICE");
            AppLog.Log(string.Format("MYSERVICE Status {0}", srv.Status));
        }

        protected override void OnStop()
        {
            mytimer.Stop();
        }
    }

    {
        public static string z = "SrvControl";
        static EventLog Logger = null;
        public static void Log(string message)
        {
            if (Logger == null)
            {
                if (!(EventLog.SourceExists(z)))
                    EventLog.CreateEventSource(z, "Application");

                Logger = new EventLog("Application");
                Logger.Source = z;
            }
            Logger.WriteEntry(message, EventLogEntryType.Information);
        }
    }
}
