You'll have to look up the Windows headers you'll need, but you want to use the Debug() Win32 function.
It triggers the Debugger to run.
The best way to use it is to call it early in the life of the service so you can connect the service with VS in a controlled manner, and then set the break point where you want it and continue to run it.
