Example service project files

 

The example project can be found in the service sub-directory in the directory where Coverage Validator was installed.

 

If the directory is not present, reinstall your software and choose custom or full installation.

 

There are two project files in the directory:

 

•service.dsp for Microsoft® Developer Studio® 6.0  
 

•service.vcproj for Microsoft® Visual Studio / .net
 

 

Configurations

 

There are just two simple configurations in each project:

 

•Debug / Release dynamically links to the svlCVStubService(_x64).lib demonstrating use with the NT Service API
