Windows service

[Wally]

Hi all.
I've wrote a windows service in VB.NET that starts antomatically on power
on. It works fine.
Now I need that my service know when a user log on Windows. Is this
possible? In which way?
Thanks in advance.

Wally,
The "simplest" way may be to create a second program that you put in the
Startup Reg Key of all users that uses
System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.ExecuteCommand to inform the service
that some one logged in.

If you need the user name, then I would consider using .NET Remoting between
the startup client & the service.


You may want to also ask this "down the hall" in one of the Win32 programmer
newsgroups to see what the Win32 API itself has to offer. One of:

microsoft.public.win32.programmer.*


Hope this helps
Jay
