Question

I have a windows service which fails in Init() method and throws some exception , so only way for me to check what the error is by looking at the event log. I want to debug the windows service, but the problem is that i can attach debugger only when service is rnning, in my case it fails in Init() method only. Any idea ?

Answer 1

you can programatically attach the debugger as the first line in the function:

Debugger.Launch ();

after adding the using statement:

using System.Diagnostics;
