Create a full featured service in minutes using .NET, even debug your service using the .NET environment.
Desaware NT Service Toolkit .NET Edition enables developers to build Windows NT services that expose internal components through multiple remoting technologies. It simplifies service testing with a simulator and supports scalable multithreaded operations. Command line options allow automated deployment and customized installation.

Integrated COM/DCOM and .NET Remoting

Automatically expose service objects through both COM/DCOM and .NET remoting to support legacy and modern clients simultaneously. This dual exposure facilitates gradual migration without disrupting existing clients.

Service Simulation and Debugging

Test and debug services without installation via the built-in simulator. Full tracing and diagnostic support leverages the .NET tracing system to identify issues rapidly during development and production.

Scalable Threading and Synchronization

Utilizes a private thread pool for COM interop to maximize scalability. Supports sophisticated state machine services through StateCoder integration and provides built-in synchronization, timers, and asynchronous operations.

Flexible Command Line Installation

Services are self-installing and uninstalling using customizable command line parameters. Supports specification of user credentials and silent mode for remote or automated service deployment.

Interactive Service Features

Detects the logged on user and monitors user logoff events, enabling enhanced interactive service functionality and responsiveness to system events.

Control Panel Applet Creation

Allows creation of full-featured control panel applets using Visual Basic .NET, C#, and other .NET languages, enhancing service management capabilities for end-users.

Migration Support

Offers high compatibility with the COM version of the Toolkit, simplifying migration of existing services to the .NET framework with minimal code changes.

Enhanced Shutdown Detection

Provides earlier and more reliable shutdown detection than the standard .NET framework, ensuring services can perform necessary cleanup during system shutdown.
