I'd recommend that you write a windows app that runs when the user logs
in. You would place an entry in the registry to start it. The app could
start, check your service (or your db) for data, and if necessary, could
pop open a window to ask for the data you require. You could even pop
open a browser to a specific web site. Not sure you'd still need the
service.

Hi all, I am looking for some ideas or pointers for an application i am
currently looking into. I have a management .net web app that is using
sql server as the back-end for config data for users etc. I then wanted
to have a service running on users pcs to check the sql server for
config data, based on this I wanted to maybe start a web app or windows
app which is the real point of the app, the user then enters info and
that is recorded for that user.

Problem being, I know that services can't start windows apps, can they
start web applications maybe, or should I think more lower level, .net
remoting or something like that to start the windows application or web
application? I know this is very vague but that is what sort of level
of thinking I am at with this at the minute.

Or should I think of integrating something like this with the Active
Directory, and use Group Policies to allow the windows or web
application for users?

I am looking for any pointers in this, all welcome!!!

Cheers

J :)
