Forms/Interfaces from windows service??

[Danmilkman]

Hello,

can anyone tell me how to start a form from a service when it starts or receives a command?

I know it is possible to also show a notifyicon in the taskbar in vb.net from a windows service, but I cant seem to get it to work, anybody??

Thnx,

D.

Services run on their own desktop and as such cannot easily display things on the user desktop. An easier way is to have the service running in the background and have a seperate windows app that communicates with the service. This app can then display information, sit in the system tray etc.

thnx. That was a thing I allready had. But thnx anyway.

Works just fine, just not fast enough.
