How to make a C# application act as a service?

Question

I have developed a C# program, although when I try and create a service from it e.g.

sc create "servicetest" binPath= 
   "C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\test\test.exe" start= auto error= ignore

I get the following message:

[SC] StartService FAILED 1053:

The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

You need to create it as a service through the Visual Studio interface, which will provide you with the correct classes and methods you need to implement.
