How to create a web interface for a windows service in .Net? [closed]

I'm looking for a way to host a web UI in a windows service so that I can configure and control it within a browser. I'd like a simple and lightweight solution, and I don't want to use IIS.

I could probably hand-roll most of it but I was wondering if there was something already made to ease the process.

Windows services cannot have GUIs, so you will need to either get rid of the GUI or separate your application into two pieces - a service with no UI, and a "controller" application.

Install and run the serviceOpen Developer Command Prompt for Visual Studio and navigate to the project directory. Type installutil bin\service.exe at the command prompt to install the Windows service. Type services. msc at the command prompt to access the Service Control Manager (SCM).
