Outputdebug does NOT work. I must have like 20 of them in my service and I never get to see one in visual studio.I'll try what endurion said.

Not sure if debugview doesn't work or I'm not using it the right way...i see nothing in the list

void CSampleService::ServiceWorkerThread(void)
{
	ServStart();
	

	
    // Periodically check if the service is stopping.
	FILE* pFile = fopen("logFile.txt", "a");
    fprintf(pFile, "%s\n","In worker function");
    while (!m_fStopping)
	{
    

	SOCKADDR_IN SenderInfo;
	SOCKET NewConnection;

	int ClientLen = sizeof(SOCKADDR_IN);
	SOCKADDR_IN ClientAddr;

	int ByteReceived, nlen;
	char recvbuff[1024];
		// Main program loop
		NewConnection = SOCKET_ERROR;
		if(NewConnection == SOCKET_ERROR) 
		{
		
			//NewConnection = accept(ListeningSocket, NULL, NULL);	// this is a blocking function
			NewConnection = accept(ListeningSocket,(SOCKADDR*)&ClientAddr, &ClientLen);
			OutputDebugString(L"New client got connected, ready to receive and send data...\n\n");
			ByteReceived = recv(NewConnection, recvbuff, sizeof(recvbuff), 0);

			if (ByteReceived > 0) 
			{
				fprintf(pFile, "%s\n","Received bytes!");
				getsockname(ListeningSocket, (SOCKADDR *)&ServerAddr, (int *)sizeof(ServerAddr));

				memset(&SenderInfo, 0, sizeof(SenderInfo));
				nlen = sizeof(SenderInfo);

				getpeername(NewConnection, (SOCKADDR *)&SenderInfo, &nlen);	
			}

		}
		if (shutdown(NewConnection, 2) != 0)
			OutputDebugString(L"Line 355");
		else
			OutputDebugString(L"shutdown is working...\n");

		

	
	}
	fclose(pFile);
    // Signal the stopped event.
    SetEvent(m_hStoppedEvent);
}

So,see that ServStart() call at the begining,it turns out it calls that function(saw it on a logfile),but after it gets out of it,it doesn't to anything.I mean when it gets out it should post some of those lines of text,but it doesn't.

Why would the call to StartServer do fine,and after that "nothing happens" ?
