To run a VC++ project as a service in Win2000

Hai,
I have created a project in VC++6.0.I have to run this project as a service in Windows2000.How can i convert my project into a windowless service.

You can start with some generic service template and move your code to the new project. There are number of such templates in CodeGuru and CodeProject, this is one of them:

http://www.codeproject.com/system/serviceskeleton.asp

Jeffrey Richter's book "Programming Server-Side Applications for Microsoft Windows 2000" (Microsoft Press) contains also such template in source code (I beleive this is the a best of them).

I'd suggest taking a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dndllpro/html/msdn_threads.asp ("Creating a Simple Win32 Service in C++")

jkr, your link points to "Multithreading for Rookies" article. I beleive you mean something else...
