Services typically do not have a UI for security reasons. Instead of adding
your form to the service, write an autostart client applications which
contains the user interface and interacts with the server via IPC
meachanisms such as sockets, named pipes, remoting, WCF, ...

I know there is a namespace System something that allows a Windows Desktop
solution to check for logout on the desktop, and it will raise an event in
the running .Net solution. I am sorry. I cannot remember what System
namespace, maybe Diagnostics. But I know it's there and you can use it.

I know I saw this when I was using Google to search out another .Net
solution.

You may be able to use an OnCustomeCommnad() in the service. If the service
is not active when you call the Service's OnCustomeCommnad() from your
Windows desktop solution, you should be able to dectec it on a try/catch,
which would be in the Logout event of that (Logout event) I am talking
about. You're going to have to look for that feature in the .Net Framework.
