What is a Windows Service?
Possibly the biggest new feature of DLS IV is the service-based architecture.
On Microsoft Windows operating systems, a Windows service is a long-running executable that performs specific functions and which is designed not to require user intervention. Windows services can be configured to start when the operating system is booted and run in the background as long as Windows is running, or they can be started manually when required.
There are many advantages to this architecture: - DLS IV does not rely on the current user's permissions - Allows effective integration with SQL Server Express - Allows operations to continue in the background AFTER the application has been closed
