Hallo everybody!
Does anyone know how to make GUI for the windows service.
I need it to monitor some processes in the service, and I need the service
because the application should run even if the user isn't signed on.
Thanks in advance

Damir -
A service continues to run whether the user is logged in or not. Thus a
logon Winstation is transitory. A Winstation is used per the logon prompt,
the local logon prompt, and for each terminal session. A level of
interaction normally hidden from application programs. It is possible to try
to respond to the comings and goings of Winstations in your service, but
this is a difficult path. Typically one will make a cooperating GUI program
for the service, perhaps something that installed to run at logon (startup
menu) which is coupled to your service via some kind of interprocess
communication or RPC (see .NET remoting). This program comes and goes and
perhaps receives monitoring events from the service, and sends control
signals to the service. If you survey the services you already have running
(from MS or 3rd parties) that provide a GUI you will see this approach is
used almost exclusively.
