I have say 3 projects: one the MVC2 app, the second is Windows Service and dll library which is used by Service. I can install and uninstall the service to the system but I need the MVC to be “on” when the service is up and “off” when it is down.
Any other things like IIS is way more appropriate but lets say they are unavailable.
