You have to add a service installer component to your project for it to
install. Drag it in and it will let you set properties like dependencies, if
the service auto starts, and account information. Without one of these in
your project your service will not install.

I think i have not written handler for the events so how do i write handler to the events in C#.Net plz. any one advice sssooooooooooooon....... .. .. .

eg i have in vb.net

Private Sub fsw_Created(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.IO.FileSystemEventArgs) Handles fsw.Created
in C#
privatevoid fwService_Created(object sender, System.IO.FileSystemEventArgs e)
so wheres the handler...

Not sure if I'm allowed to answer C# questions in this VB.Net forum, but here is a link that should give you a good start:
