I think there is no tool or conversion option by which you can straight away convert a win forms application to a service because windows forms has events like mouse click key press associated with UI action which a service can be executed based on a call from client. If I was you what I will do is I will extract all business logic in a separate class library and make use of that library in windows forms app and use same library to create a service. This way only logic relevant to UI actions is in windows form app all other logic is in different library which can be called from anywhere.
