Here you will find various examples that show how to use SvCom components. The list of examples grows all the time. The fact is that I receive a lot of messages with requests about "how to do"... The digest of most popular questions with step-by-step instructions and comments is below. Have your own question? Ask me and likely you will see related example in this list. Have your own example and want to publish it here? Just let me know!

• Simple service. It shows the basic steps that are necessary to create your own service, install and run it. The basics of service debugging are here too.
   
• Advanced service. It is a service that has event handlers. This example shows how to use OnStart, OnStop, OnExecute and other key events.
   
• Interactive service. It was a first example of interactive service. The TsvSurviver component was created much more later then this example was published. Now this component exists and interactive service can be created with ease. See the advanced interactive service example to learn how to do it.
   
• DCOM server in a service. This example shows how to implement the DCOM server that lives in a service.
   
• DCOM Server with event support. It is a third-party example, that shows how to add the support of events to DCOM server.
   
• Secret storage. Windows NT has a secret region in the registry that is encrypted and can't be accessed with common registry functions. Here is a door...
   
• SID stuff. Basic Windows NT security objects are SID, ACL, security descriptor... Here you will find how to work with SID...
   
• ACL editor. ... and with ACL.
   
• DDE server. And it works in a service. Get it.
   
• Process List. Windows 9x and Windows NT/2000 supply different API for it and this API is too complicated. With SvCom you will need one function only and will work on both 9x and NT/2000 systems. Get the process list with ease.
   
• Advanced interactive service. The Delphi VCL (and BCB too!) has an internal problem that does not allow to create interactive services. With SvCom it is possible! Just drop the TsvSurviver components onto service's forms and they will successfully survive logoff/logon!
   
• How to obtain the name of interactive user. Note that the service can't use the GetUserName method for this purpose.
  
• Configurable service with reusable service module and windows messages processing.

• MIDAS server in service. This example uses TDataSetProvider, TDCOMConnection and TClientDataSet and shows how to use these components in an NT service application.
