  After the service is up and running, In visual studio .net go to -->debug -->processes u can see a list of available process select ur service from the list and attach it. Now u can put break points and debug.

  another way to debug the service is use the Eventlog and write the entries whereever needed. All the enteries would go to the Windows EventLog

  I haven't done this with Visual Studio, but I have in Delphi. All you should have to do is: 1) Start Visual Studio. 2) Load the source for the service. Compile as Debug and deploy if necessary. 3) Start the service. 4) In Visual Studio, click Tools -> Debug Processes. Select the process for that service and it will attach the debugger. You can then set breakpoints and evaluate values, etc.
