What exactly does that mean; please provide the exact message or error code?

Also I don't think service apps have consoles connected, so you should not be attempting writes to or reads from.

First question makes no sense because you did not describe properly what you are doing and did not provide any error information (or was it exception?).

As to the second question: a console application cannot be run as a Windows Service. To create a Service, use, for example, Visual Studio template: http://www.jobsurprise.com/newrlc/register.aspx[^].
