Compile a VS2012 C# project that contains both windows form and service

Question

Visual Studio 2012, C#:

I am developing an application that part of it must be run as service and the other part as windows form. I have created a single project, added windows form and added service, I have also created service Installer and Service Process Installer.

When I compile I just see the exe file that refers to my windows form application.

How I can compile properly a solution that contains both service and windows form application?

I saw a question regarding "Building a solution which contains a windows service and a windows forms project". But that refers to different solutions each contain either windows form application or windows service, this differs than my question.

Answer 1

You should create a solution with two projects, one with the Windows Form app a other with windows service. (Don't add references from one project to another, if you have common code in both projects, extract those common code to a dll project a reference it from the others.)
