Has anyone got any links to sites, articles etc or can help with how to
write a Windows service that supports multiple instances in the way that MS
SQL does?

(I have an existing service and just need to make it support multiple
instances)

TIA
 
Hi Nigel,

You might use your service to spawn mutliple threads that will serve clients
requests.
 
Thanks for your reply - however....

.... it really needs to be totally autonomous in the way of stop/start etc as
its going to be used as a subscription service for a hosting application.
FYI the back end is a IIS/SQL server and it already has threads for handling
operations - so I'm not not trying to avoid threading ;-)
