对于现有Windows服务程序的故障排除，请像其他人建议的那样使用'Debugger.Break()'。

对于新的Windows服务程序，我建议使用James Michael Hare的方法http://geekswithblogs.net/BlackRabbitCoder/archive/2011/03/01/c-toolbox-debug-able-self-installable-windows-service-template-redux.aspx

static void Main()
{
#if DEBUG
                // Run as interactive exe in debug mode to allow easy
                // debugging.

                var service = new MyService();
                service.OnStart(null);

                // Sleep the main thread indefinitely while the service code
                // runs in .OnStart

                Thread.Sleep(Timeout.Infinite);
#else
                // Run normally as service in release mode.

                ServiceBase[] ServicesToRun;
                ServicesToRun = new ServiceBase[]{ new MyService() };
                ServiceBase.Run(ServicesToRun);
#endif
}

当我几周前建立一个新的服务项目时，我发现了这个帖子。虽然有很多很好的建议，但我仍然没有找到我想要的解决方案:在不修改服务类的情况下调用服务类的OnStart和OnStop方法的可能性。

我想到的解决方案是利用环境。交互式选择运行模式，正如这篇文章的其他答案所建议的。

static void Main()
{
    ServiceBase[] servicesToRun;
    servicesToRun = new ServiceBase[] 
    {
        new MyService()
    };
    if (Environment.UserInteractive)
    {
        RunInteractive(servicesToRun);
    }
    else
    {
        ServiceBase.Run(servicesToRun);
    }
}

RunInteractive helper使用反射来调用受保护的OnStart和OnStop方法:

static void RunInteractive(ServiceBase[] servicesToRun)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Services running in interactive mode.");
    Console.WriteLine();

    MethodInfo onStartMethod = typeof(ServiceBase).GetMethod("OnStart", 
        BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
    foreach (ServiceBase service in servicesToRun)
    {
        Console.Write("Starting {0}...", service.ServiceName);
        onStartMethod.Invoke(service, new object[] { new string[] { } });
        Console.Write("Started");
    }

    Console.WriteLine();
    Console.WriteLine();
    Console.WriteLine(
        "Press any key to stop the services and end the process...");
    Console.ReadKey();
    Console.WriteLine();

    MethodInfo onStopMethod = typeof(ServiceBase).GetMethod("OnStop", 
        BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
    foreach (ServiceBase service in servicesToRun)
    {
        Console.Write("Stopping {0}...", service.ServiceName);
        onStopMethod.Invoke(service, null);
        Console.WriteLine("Stopped");
    }

    Console.WriteLine("All services stopped.");
    // Keep the console alive for a second to allow the user to see the message.
    Thread.Sleep(1000);
}

这是所需的所有代码，但我还编写了带有解释的演练。

下面是我用来测试服务的简单方法，没有任何额外的“调试”方法，并带有集成的VS单元测试。

[TestMethod]
public void TestMyService()
{
    MyService fs = new MyService();

    var OnStart = fs.GetType().BaseType.GetMethod("OnStart", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Static);

    OnStart.Invoke(fs, new object[] { null });
}

// As an extension method
public static void Start(this ServiceBase service, List<string> parameters)
{
     string[] par = parameters == null ? null : parameters.ToArray();

     var OnStart = service.GetType().GetMethod("OnStart", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Static);

     OnStart.Invoke(service, new object[] { par });
}

static class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        #if DEBUG

        // TODO: Add code to start application here

        //    //If the mode is in debugging
        //    //create a new service instance
        Service1 myService = new Service1();

        //    //call the start method - this will start the Timer.
        myService.Start();

        //    //Set the Thread to sleep
        Thread.Sleep(300000);

        //    //Call the Stop method-this will stop the Timer.
        myService.Stop();

         #else
        ServiceBase[] ServicesToRun;
        ServicesToRun = new ServiceBase[] 
        { 
            new Service1() 
        };

        ServiceBase.Run(ServicesToRun);
         #endif
    }
}

我认为这取决于你使用的操作系统，Vista很难附加到服务，因为会话之间的分离。

我过去使用的两个选项是:

Use GFlags (in the Debugging Tools for Windows) to setup a permanent debugger for a process. This exists in the "Image File Execution Options" registry key and is incredibly useful. I think you'll need to tweak the Service settings to enable "Interact with Desktop". I use this for all types of debugging, not just services. The other option, is to separate the code a bit, so that the service part is interchangable with a normal app startup. That way, you can use a simple command line flag, and launch as a process (rather than a Service), which makes it much easier to debug.

希望这能有所帮助。
