title: Problem with testing a Windows service
body: <p>I want to make a Windows service that will access my database. My database is SQL Server 2005.</p>
  
  <p>Actually I am working on a website and my database is inside our server. I need to access my database every second and update the records. For that purpose I need to make a Windows service that will install into our server and perform the task.</p>
  
  <p>I have been accessing the database from my local machine and then running the service, but problem is I'm not sure how I can test this service.</p>
  
  <p>I tried to install into my local machine. It installed and then I ran the service but it did not perform the task and I think service is not able to connect with the database.</p>
  
  <p>There is no problem in the service nor its installer. The only issue is how to test my Windows service.</p>
