When developing a service application, where are you supposed to put configuration files? I think not in the binaries directory under Program files. Is there a "best parctise" or a raccomandation? Thanks in advance Agostino

Hi, For the coding related issue, Microsoft Developer Network Forum is the best resource. I recommend you submit a new question in Microsoft Developer Network Forum for further assistance. Microsoft Developer Network Forum http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/categories/ For more information on how to develop a Windows Service Application, please refer to the following links: Introduction to Windows Service Applications http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/d56de412(v=vs.80).aspx A Windows Service Application http://www.codeproject.com/KB/system/Sund_WindowService.aspx Best Regards, NinaPlease remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

MSDN would be the best place to look, but I would go for ProgramData (unless it's a small amount of data, in which case the registry may be an option) http://blogs.msdn.com/b/cjacks/archive/2008/02/05/where-should-i-write-program-data-instead-of-program-files.aspx
