1. Create a Project

or just click the New Project button from the Start Page



the New Project dialog will pop up.

f. Click OK.

2. Browse the Autogenerated Code

The IDE will autogenerate some code and drop you into Service1.cs [Design] view.



To look at the generated code, right click the window and select - View Code. I highly recommend you at least skim the autogenerated code.



When you think you've seen enough, Click back to Service1.cs [Design] view.

3. Rename the .cs File

First, let's change the name of the .cs file to something more applicable. To do this, find the Solution Explorer - usually the top right window. If you cannot see the window anywhere, click the IDE menu item: View-Solution Explorer.

a. Expand the timedService Project(or whatever you named your project)
b. Right Click on Service1.cs
c. Click Rename
d. Name it something like timedService.cs
