Launching Windows Forms Window from Web Services call

A

awu

Is there a reason why I can't launch a WinForm Window from within a Web
Services method invocation?

Thanks,

Hi Andy,

Yes. There are good reasons you shouldn't do this. First off, there is no
active desktop, and the forms methods require a logged in desktop for them
to work. Web services (servers side) run as threads managed by IIS - and
since there is no desktop for the logged in IIS process, you cannot make
code running on those threads launch local forms.

I hope this helps
