I'm creating an internal inactivity logger for work, we initially wanted this to be a windows form application with a hidden windows form that works in the background, however the program appears in the task manager and we now want this code to be used in a windows service, I was wondering if this is possible? if so I'd like some help implementing that =]

this is the code for the Application

    Stackoverflow is a Q&A site, not a "can you solve this for me"-site. You should try and do this yourself first, and then come back here if you need help with something specific. Right now, it is unclear if you have a question or just want help implementing your program. – Anton Jul 11 '13 at 13:17

    First, try to move the code to a class that has no reference to System.Windows.Forms. If you succeed, the answer is yes. – Steve B Jul 11 '13 at 13:17

No,this wont work..

A service doesn't have a UI component.So,you cant show a form in service..It's not used for showing User Interface..

If you want to hide your winform from taskbar,you can just do this

yourForm.ShowInTaskBar=false;

You can also hide your winform from taskmanager but am not aware of how to implement it.you can google for it..

    @ReeceCottam use service if you want to continuously work in the background..then if you want to show `form`(application) you can invoke your application from service using [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10309426/call-windows-application-in-windows-service) method – Anirudha Jul 11 '13 at 13:32
