To me that means a Windows service, which is slightly 'in at the deep end' if you're just beginning in .NET. Also, since a service can't have a visible user interface, you need a little WinForms / WPF GUI application that can talk to the service. You would probably even need to do a little testbed form that would let you start/stop the service, run methods on it and so on.
I did one of these recently in C# and just used the Visual Studio help - look for "Introduction to Windows Service Applications" in the index. FYI, my solution has the project for the service 'shell' itself, a project for the 'engine' which has all the actual methods, a test harness project and a project that builds the MSI installer. So it's not trivial. -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
