Question

Just trying to save some clicking and typing while I create a service. Right now the steps are:

1. cmd prompt net stop service name
2. compile service
3. cmd prompt net start service name

I’m sure there is a better way to do this, anybody here know of one?

Thank you.

Answer 1

You can configure steps 1 & 3 as pre and post build events for the project. Step 1 will be executed before compiling, and step 3 will execute after a successful build. This should automate things nicely.
