making a service...

Oooofda...long time no post.  Lots of work done though.  hehehe.

My question of the day...how do you make a service?  I have an executable that's a remoting server...and currently I have a Console.ReadLine(); in the code to make sure the app doesn't exist until I want it too...what I would like is for this app to sit running all the time as a service, so I don't have to see it...

So I guess my question is a 2 parter...

1) What's the best way to get an app to just sit and listen for an incoming remoting request?

2) How do you get the test .exe to run as a service in XP?  I can't seem to find anything in the OS that allows this...

anyway, I'll keep seaching the net for answers, but if anyone happens to have one of them and some free time to post, please post any advice you can offer.  :)
