Answer 2

+1 A:

Put a call to System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break() in your OnStart() callback. When your service starts up, you'll be prompted to start the Visual Studio debugger. Once the debugger opens, you can debug from there.

The problem I have is the windows service dies and I cannot reproduce it. How will debugging it help? Somewhere an unhandled exception is being thrown. I have try/excepts in my code but clearly the exception is not being caught.

If the service is at least making it into your OnStart() callback, then put the call to Debugger.Break() in as I said. As soon as the debugger pops up and stops at your breakpoint, go to the Debug menu and select the Exceptions option. Click the checkbox under the Thrown column for the Common Language Runtime Exceptions. When you continue the debugging session, the debugger will break where the exception is <b>thrown</b> as opposed to where it is caught.

You can even put the Debugger.Break() call in the entry point function for your service, which is even earlier in the startup process (obviously) than the OnStart() callback. Do this in case you never make it to your OnStart() callback.

Thanks, did not know about that way of debugging. That has helped. I now have a clue where the unhandled exception is occurring.
