• The project template automatically adds a component class called Service1 that inherits from System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase.
• Click the designer to select Service1. Then, in the Properties window, set the ServiceName and the (Name) property for Service1 to My_New_Service.
• Set the AutoLog property to true.
• Create an instance of My_New_Service by editing the main menu.
