Hi,
First post, so apologies if this has been asked before (I did have a search first!)
We have a project coming up and I would like to use Windows Services but need to convince some other developers of this approach first.
What are the advantages of using services over a conventional forms app?
I'm aware of;
1) Not needing to logon
2) Security - can run under a specific username
3) Recovery Options
4) Dependencies
Are there any other benefits? Performance?
Any disadvantages aside from services not being that easy to debug?
OS will be we Windows Server 2003/8. App will be some heavy duty number crunching. Data feed approx 4/5 times a second 24*7.
Thanks in advance!
