The service
application templates are not included in the Visual Studio Express
products, but there is a workaround to allow you to use them. What I
have done in the past is to load up the trial version of the Visual
Studio System and create a base application from each template and then
export them as templates. Then once inside the Express IDE I would then
import the templates, from this point on I now have a windows Service
template that I can use.
If you do not have the trial you may be able to find someone to export the template for you.
But, it are just templates, so this means you can also do this manually! You can inhire the ServiceBase class, on this page you will also find an example. You can just use this as an template.
