You can't use Compact Framework for the development of a windows service. This is an article in MSDN about writing services for Windows CE.

For a regular application, this question has some ideas on how you can make it to automatically launch on start up.

There is a CodePlex project that you can check out that is likely going to be your best best for creating a Windows Server on a windows mobile device.
