Danmilkman Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 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 can't seem to get it to work, anybody?? Thnx, D.

Administrators PlausiblyDamp Posted November 28, 2003 Administrators Posted November 28, 2003 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. Quote Posting Guidelines FAQ Post Formatting Intellectuals solve problems; geniuses prevent them. -- Albert Einstein
