Info on writing windows services

[Cory J. Laidlaw, Beyond01.com]

Hi. I need to write a new windows service that will run on windows server,
probably 2003.

Does anyone know of a good place on MSDN (or elsewhere) to get basic
examples of how to do this?

I need to know what registry keys need to be writen to run the service. I
also have seen some limited stuff about needing to call a windows method that
registers to the OS confirming the service has started within so many
seconds.

I will be writing this in VB.NET 2008.

any input welcomed. thanks!

It maybe old, but it must be still applicable on .NET,
so,you can try these:
