Monitoring Network availbility and Windows Service in VC6 [modified]

[Logan from Singapore]

Hi, I am looking for the way to write 1) a Windows Service in VC6 and 2) a method to monitor network availablility in VC6. I have actually done a service that will monitor the network availablility in VS2005 but due to some situation, I am not allowed to have .Net framework 2.0 on the system that I want to install this service. I am looking for the equivalent of

using System.Net.NetworkInformation;
NetworkChange.NetworkAvailabilityChanged += OnAvaiabilityChanged;

in VC6 and also maybe an article of how to write a Windows Service in VC6. Any help will be appreciated. :-D

Replying to my own message... I have found the method of achieving both items that I was looking for. I just want to close this message in case anyone is also looking for anything like this. 1) For writing a Windows Service in VC6, I have found a great article on CodeProject http://www.codeproject.com/KB/system/serviceskeleton.aspx\[[^](http://www.codeproject.com/KB/system/serviceskeleton.aspx "New Window")]"> 2) For this, it is more tricky. I have found a service called Network Location Awareness and by doing a search on the internet for this, you will find some very useful information or you can have a look at this article http://www.codeproject.com/KB/IP/NLA.aspx\[[^](http://www.codeproject.com/KB/IP/NLA.aspx "New Window")]"> Hope this information is useful and thanks to anyone that have given a thought to my questions. Cheers :-D
