Thank you Tim.
The service is already running with the LocalSystem account and the "Interact with desktop" checkbox selected, and it makes no difference, as far as I can see.
I am porting an existing enterprise application to .NET, and I would like to maintain the old scenario, where a set of services running on a server must be easily and rapidly inspected by the application administrator, by opening a log window. I know the EventLog would be the solution, but in my opinion the event viewer does not give you a "snapshot" of what's going on.
No problem to use a Windows Application instead, if the Windows Service does not fit.

Ah, that makes sense then. I had a similar situation where I had a collection of services that had to be monitored/configured by admins. I solved it by creating a very simplistic (tab control) windows form gui. I basically had a tab page for each service.
The admin would start the app. The app would communicate with the services using an appropriate ipc (I used tcp sockets, you could use remoting if you prefer). I had endpoints to the services configured in the form app (i.e. hostname and port #) -- these were persisted in the registry, in the current user hive. So I created code in the services to respond to various requests from the windows form gui i.e.,
The gui would send a request asking for the # of logged in users, the service would respond with that #.
Or,
The admin would need to point a service to a different database, so he'd make the change in the windows form app and the app would send a request to the service to make this change. The service would update the registry (local machine hive) with the new database name, etc.
Anyway, this worked well for me. Hope it helps.

In the end, I think I will go for something like that, Tim.
Instead of having one single tabbed form, I will probably end up with a different application for each "service", as they are quite heterogeneous.

Hi everyone,
just a quick problem... i am trying to work out how to batch rename ALOT of folders based on a text file.
eg. 008456 = dharv43
i am trying to rename about 1500 student folders from their student numbers to their new logons. i have a text file of all the students numbers lined up with their logons, i just need a folder renamer that will read the data out of the file.
Thanks heaps
Dave

Here is the C# sample code which will help you
using System;
using System.IO;
// Read your text file with names
// Form path1 with studentname
// Form path2 with studentid
// Execute the following code in a loop
string path = "C:\xxx\xxx\" + "Studentname.txt";
string path2 = C:"\xx\xxx\" + "StudentID.txt"
if (!File.Exists(path))
{
// This statement ensures that the file is created,
// but the handle is not kept.
using (FileStream fs = File.Create(path)) {}
}
// Move the file.
File.Move(path, path2);
Console.WriteLine("{0} was moved to {1}.", path, path2);

I'd love to see an article that demonstrates the most basic necessary objects to place an ap into an installer. I'm referring to the most standard Windows Installer kinds of elements:
- Check to see if user has at least the .Net Framework and the version is compatible
- Prompt user for install location and create new folder if none exists
- Ask user if they want a shortcut icon on the desktop/quicklaunch
- Ask the user if they want to view the readme
- Include an uninstaller
Thanks

Hmm............. Given your handle is 'tanstaafl', would you be willing to pay for such informaiton 
What languge would you want to see examples in?
Or are you looking for a document describing WHAT do do versus a concrete example of how to do it?
Are you concerned about setup file size (file compression is required)?
Do you know if you need Windows Logo compliance (must use MSI if yes)?

I certainly would offer whatever time and skills I have to offer in exchange for the knowledge of how to create a installer that will work correctly with a PC that has just the .NET Framework.
I wrote a program in Visual Basic .NET and had a difficult time getting it to work on two other computers, one had just the framework, and the other had a full version of Visual Studio.NET.
I finally dumped every file and folder pertaining to the program onto the pc with just the framework and it worked.

It's sooooo much easier if you download the Visual Studio .NET 2003 bootstrapper plugin. Now you need not write your Win32 bootstapper code to check for framework version, MDAC components, or any of your other concerns. Just install the plug-in, create a new setup(deployment) project in the IDE, and point and click your way to an elegant installer! Rock-on.

Is there a FREE software project out there that can serve as the front end for a CD-ROM.
I want the option to launch a few programs, HTML files, text files, etc. as the CD-ROM is inserted.
I searched here using 'CD-ROM' and 'AutoRun' and did not see or else overlooked something. Tried the same search on SourceForge. Am I using the wrong keywords?
Should I write one myself and post it here?
Thanks.
|
|
|
|
|
yeah, your searching for the wrong word. If i understand you correctly. From what I understand, you want to search for "autorun.ini"

Thanks for the keyword search suggestion.
I found some on www.installsite.org, some with source, some without.
They did not really do what we needed for our current project, so I already wrote one in MFC.
|
|
|
|
|
your wrote what in MFC? I'm confused...
/\ |_ E X E GG
|
|

|

I just made my own CD-ROM/application launcher instead of using one already out there.
The AutoRun.Inf starts my program written using MFC. I have options to view release notes, browse CD-ROM, view license agreement, launch setup programs.
That is all I was looking for initially, but the ones I found were too limited, cost too much, or had strange runtime overheads.

|
|
|
ooops, sorry about that. I meant .inf...
Ok, I understand now, good job.
