The simplest .NET lightweight "service" host. Loads assemblies named *Service.dll into their own AppDomains and calls StartService() method on them. Supports shadow-copy for super-easy xcopy deployment.

Build the solution and then start ServiceManager.exe from command line; it will scan Examples folder, load all samples, and start them.

Try re-building any of the examples in Visual Studio (right-click on project and pick "Rebuild") to simulate update--the service will be reloaded automatically.

Type list to see a list of loaded services. Type exit to end and unload services.

Type ServiceManager /install to install as a windows service. Set the path to the services folder in the .config file. Copy folders into services.
