Windows Services open source framework

Question

I was listening to a podcast a while back on an Open Source project. I can't remember what the project was called, but the guys doing it said they'd split out their Windows Service support into a separate Open Source project.

Like I say, I can't remember the project or what they've called the break-out project. All I remember is that it wraps Windows Services in .NET.

Anyone know what project this is?

Cheers

I'm not exactly sure why you would need to "wrap" "windows services" in .net... .Net is fully capable of producing a windows service (and it's installer) rather easily. What would you expect it to actually do? — NotMe, Jun 18 '09 at 14:46

Maybe you are thinking of Topshelf.

Here's some information about it:

Hey guys is there a more complete "how to" article to get top shelf up and running? – Ken Burkhardt Aug 09 '10 at 20:08
The TopShelf link above is not working, so here is the link to the project web site: http://topshelf-project.com/ – grahamesd Apr 16 '12 at 21:12
