I have hosted my service in IIS and have called it in my app also..My application's front-end is HTML and uses Javascipt/JQuery...I have used the "ajax" to call my service.. Now i need my service to run on background automatically on device start-up, so that i can receive notifications if any new request/query arises !! – Jan 29 '13 at 08:05

Any service posted on IIS will start automatically because on windows startup the IIs loads automatically
