1You are already looking at it. It was largely a mistake, a service requires code and you'll have no use for the design view. – Hans Passant Dec 25 '11 at 22:09

@HansPassant I'm trying to add an installer, that's why I need it: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1688275/can-i-have-multiple-services-hosted-in-a-single-windows-executable/1688702#1688702 – petko_stankoski Dec 25 '11 at 22:10

to elaborate from @HansPassant, Windoze Services have NO Steenkin User Interface. Therefore, no use for design view. If you want a user interface, you need to develop a separate application. – dar7yl Dec 25 '11 at 22:24

@HansPassant "In the Code Editor window, right-click Design View", there isn't Design view when I right click in the Code Editor window. – petko_stankoski Dec 26 '11 at 06:55
