One problem with using the results of the search, is that I need to add the book to my bookshelf in order to use it. An improvement would be if I could add chapters to my bookshelf. For example I have a 5 book bookshelf. If this could be used as a 4 book plus 10 chapter bookshelf it would be a lot more useful.


I did a search for ServiceController.ServiceType and it comes up with 4 books. At the time I really only wanted example programs that showed how to set the interact with desktop capability since the ServiceType property was read only. I didn't want to grab a book for 30 days just to see if the book had anything useful. I found the aswers by posting a question in microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.csharp. If there was a complete book on Windows Services in .NET, I would have added it to my bookshelf. Since these 4 books each had only a single chapter on Windows Services, it would have been nice to just add those chapters to my bookshelf.


At this point downloadable pdf files are of little use, since I only have desktop computers, which are always online. Maybe I can save the occasional chapter befor removing the book from my bookshelf.
