New SIM Service will not show up in Add option

I just installed the SimplySim NXT, Microsoft Visual C# Express 2008, and Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio 2008 Express. I modifed the sample1service and renamed and I cannot get it to show up once I attempt to add a service. How do I get this to show up as an option to add. I have deleted the contrcatDirectory.bin file and it still will not show up. Please advise.

How have you renamed it ? A service must have a unique contract identifier and a specific assembly. If you have multiple service in the same assembly, each service and contract must be in different namespace.

The Lego NXT dashboard uses MSRDS control panel service to read the assemblies in MSRDS bin folder and get all the services. It displays the "DisplayName" of the service.

For provided samples, the three services are defined in the same assembly, but in different namespaces. Each service has a unique contract and a unique display name.

Code:

[DisplayName("SimplySim NXT Sample1")]
[Description("Simple Movements")]
[Contract(Contract.Identifier)]
public class Sample1Service : DsspServiceBase
{

Check that you have renamed your service following MSRDS convention and that you have changed the display name attribute.
