Hi all,
Well, Im back at it again working on the 2nd version of my Point-of-Sale program. For those of you who helped me on the first version (you know who you are), I just want to say that I couldnt have done it without you. Everyone here has been great, and I have really learned so much by just being here. For those of you who havent yet seen it, or just want to check it out, you can download it here . Feedback would appreciated.
So, Ive received hundreds of emails from customers requesting different features, and im trying to incorporate as many as possible into the new version. One feature that Im working on is the option of sending daily sales reports via email to a user-entered email address. What I thought about doing was create a small Windows service that generates and sends the report every night at a specified time.
My questions are:
1.) Can I install the service through the deployment project for the main app?
2.) How do I start the service once its installed?
3.) Is there a better way to do this instead of creating a Windows service?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated (as always).
Thanks in advance,
Chris
