Question

I am new Windows service in VS.Net 2008.

I need to build a Windows service Application. When I right click the solution in Solution Explorer, a UI opens named Solution ‘MySyncService’. Here I can see two major folders Common Properties and Configuration Properties. But I cannot see a general tab.

Secondly, if I right click my project ‘MySyncService’,select properties(short cut menu), then I can’t see Common Properties and Configuration Properties. I see various tabs like Application Build, Build Events, Debug, Resources, Services, Settings, Reference paths etc. As per the link in MSDN I am not able to get the Common properties and General Tab. Please let me know which step I am missing.
