I am making a Windows Service and I want to debug it.
This is the error I get when I try to debug it:
Cannot start service from the command line or a debugger. A Windows service must be first installed and then started with the Server Explorer, Windows Services Administrative TOll or the NET start command.
I have already installed my service using InstallUtil, but I am still facing problems.
Also, when I try to attach a process, my service goes into the running mode, it never starts debugging.
EDIT: DO we have to reinstall the Windows Service everytime we make a change or just building it would suffice?
