You can make a console application. I use this main function:

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        ImportFileService ws = new ImportFileService();
        ws.OnStart(args);
        while (true)
        {
            ConsoleKeyInfo key = System.Console.ReadKey();
            if (key.Key == ConsoleKey.Escape)
                break;
        }
        ws.OnStop();
    }

My ImportFileService class is exactly the same as in my Windows service's application, except the inheritant (ServiceBase).
