Hi guys,

I am wondering what might be the best way to notify a user that the external program they are connected to is still running?

The app I am updating from VB6 to VB.Net previously would plot real-time data points on a graph. I have recently found out that there is absolutely no need for the graph or the data. Along with that, the customized user control that the previous developer created was unnecessarily complex (so I am trying to avoid re writing its functionality in VB.Net). With that said, I am looking for an idea similar to the previous control in that it provides real-time feedback...

Any help/ideas would be great, thank you in advance.
