Short video demonstrating event viewer events created by installing and running a Windows Service.
The course can be seen here "Windows Service Programming in C# .Net For Coders & Students".
Point in showing the Windows event viewer here is to give the student a general sense of how Windows Services operate. The exercise also prepares them for debugging in future, where they might get stuck in a production scenario looking desperately for clues.
If anybody has got any questions on the subject, I'm always available to answer those.
Just by a stroke of sheer luck, I have done a lot of work on Windows services on my full time job. I show how to do it using C# .Net in this course but as a matter of fact I've created Windows Service applications using C++ as well.
That was for a thing that acted as an intermediary between NEC NEAX telephone exchange and Avaya handsets. Our thing would allow users to invoke a call recording web service from their IP phones.

- Let us take a quick look into Windows Event Log
- I will click start button and type Event Viewer and open it
- The event viewer can take a few minutes to load the data
- Let’s Expand the node ‘Windows Logs’
- I’ll Click the sub-item ‘Application’
- I will Look for ‘Udemy Windows Service’ in the ‘Source’ column
- When I click on an item in the list, the lower half of the window shows some stuff in ‘General’ and ‘Details’ tab
- The General tab will have the message your application would’ve written to the Windows event logs.
- Now click on the ‘System’ node under ‘Windows Logs’
- If you didn’t install this service a long long while ago, you will be able to find an event related to service install near the top of list view.
- In our case, I’ve found the event related to service installation. It says ‘A service was installed in the system.‘
