Application That Will Run Without User Logged In

Question

I am using .Net 3.5 / C# / VS 2008.

I need to write an application that will run on a Windows 2008 server continuously and also has a GUI interface that shows some status messages. The application receives and process requests (via https), and displays the request and response as it processes them.

I need this app to run on a server without my having to stay logged into the server and without leaving a Terminal Services session open. Is there a way to do that?

 

I believe cannot do a service application since this has a GUI.

Answer 1

Due to the fact the UI is only relevant when logged on, I suggest you approach the problem differently:

Create a windows-service that does the logic, and a windows application for the UI.

Interact between these 2 application using file-system or database.

This is a very popular approach that many application use.
