windows daemon

How do I create a windowless daemon in VS2005? Thx

A windows service can be considered a windowless daemon. To create one, go to file>new>project and in your language of choice, choose Windows projects and Windows Service. From there it's pretty self-explanitory. HTH, ~dnc

Just as a community note: a windows service is not available w/ VS standard edition -- you must go higher. Thx

LOL... sorry, I forget about that often... You could get around that by writing a console app and then using something like FireDaemon (I think that is the name?) that allows you to run an application as a service in Windows. ~dnc
