Can a ShowBalloonTip event be raised from a console or win service app

B

Bill Fuller

I have a Win Service app that monitors the health of remote servers,
including web services. I would like to raise a WinBalloonTip for
significant events, such as the Death of a connection or service. Is this
possible from a service (or even console app, for that matter), or does it
have to be a WinForms app to do this.

Console should be fine as long as you set up an app-loop (fairly easy) - but
services shouldn't interact with the desktop. You'd need a separate UI
component that talks to the service, really...
