Developing Windows Services in C#

Windows Services (aka NT Services, Windows NT Services, or daemons for Linux/Unix folk) are long-running background processes that perform a specific task without any user interaction. This session will cover the Windows Services architecture, demonstrate the implementation of a Windows service in C# (and associated client code), and use WCF (Windows Communication Foundation) to allow clients to call methods within the Windows Service (i.e., hosting a simple WCF Service inside a Windows Service). Familiarity with C# is helpful.
