Is it possible to have the main application running as (or like?) a windows service? I'd like to have a menu in the system tray pop up a list of modules that can be opened--showing and hiding an item based on security access. Each module would basically represent a department and its corresponding functions.



Thanks!

Bill

Yep, you can totally use SF to build a service, Trent does it all the time. I never have, myself, but he tells me it is very easy (granted, he always says that Wink.)

However, based on Bill's description, I think the important part he was looking for was getting an icon to appear in the system tray, which he has already figured out by using .NET's standard NotifyIcon.

Ya...everything is easy for Trent. Except for curling. He just can't seem to get that sweeping thing down.
