Hi,
I am having a problem starting a process from within a web service. My code
works in a console program but not from the web service. Looks like the
process starts, I can see it in Taskmanager, but I connot see the window!
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Dominique

I'm assuming you're hosting your web service in IIS...? IIS runs as a service
process which does not interact with the same windows station as the logged
on user. You cannot start a process from IIS and expect it to show up on
the logged in desktop. Can it be done? Yes, but there's security considerations
and overall design considerations to doing it. Maybe if you could tell us
a little more about what you're trying to achieve we can suggest some alternate
solutions.

Hi,
thanks for you answer.
Actually my web service interacts with an Oracle Database, then it starts a
proprietary application wich makes some treatment on the new records, and I
would like this application to log performed oprerations in a window on the
system console. I know we could log them to a text file or whatever, but the
console window is a requirement.
Thanks,
Dominique

Well why not log them somewhere (like a table in a DB) and then just have
a separate application that reads the log? Then a separate application can
be started by the logged on user and access the logged data. This opens a
lot more scenarios beyond real time logging to the screen too.
Just some thoughts,
Dre
Totaly agree. It is what I implemented in the meantime.
thanks again.

Drew,
I'm interested in the details on how you would have the IIS process show up
on the logged in desktop.
I am invoking an EXE with process.start() and require the standard output for
application processing.

that doesn't need admin. privs.
