I want to use c++ func in .net
there is a parameter LPSERVICE_MAIN_FUNCTIONA what is it in .net?
Maybe the service can be implemented easier in C# without C++ functions?

Hi,
The LPSERVICE_MAIN_FUNCTION type defines a pointer to this callback function. ServiceMain is a placeholder for an application-defined function name.

LPSERVICE_MAIN_FUNCTIONA Is a type alias. See
https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winsvc/nc-winsvc-lpservice_main_functiona
what is alias in .net?
It’s a c++ feature. You use pinvoke to call c++ code. You must know the actual types to define the pinvoke attributes.
Notice that the type alias is a callback definition that also uses type alias’s
LPSERVICE_MAIN_FUNCTIONA LpserviceMainFunctiona;
void LpserviceMainFunctiona(
[in] DWORD dwNumServicesArgs,
[in] LPSTR *lpServiceArgVectors
)
{...}
