Hi all I developed a HTTP base control program on a cortex m3 microprocessor and i would like to do the same with a windows application .which protocol i have to use instead of http?Can you give me some guide how to do it?is there any sample example?

Windows services is just programs that run headless, i.e. without any text console or GUI interface.
So basically the same as a daemon on Unix machines.
A Windows service might encrypt file data. Or it might implement a web server (HTTP). Or it might measure and log the temperatures in the computer. Maybe listen on a RS232 or USB port or use Ethernet to interface with a UPS to issue a shutdown command to the computer in case of too long time without mains power. The sky is the limit - all you can think of that doesn't explicitly requires a visible interface to present any output on.
