Writing a service & Net send

[carlblanchard]

Hey All kinda two questions here

i want to write a bit of code that checks the database for certain requirements, this should run as a service, so question one, how do u go about making a service,

question two i would like the service to use net send or something to display a msg on the user screen informing them that action on the db is required

can anyone point me in some direction with these

thanks all

If you want a net send, just use process.start("net send " + UserIP + " " + MessageToUser) Where UserIP is the IP of the user and MessageToUser is your message.

If you want your own type of net send thing, well you'll probably have to make a service that takes in info from the service you want to make now and then displays a message box.
