Hi guys,
I am creating a monitoring program. I need to create a windows service to send a ping request to a list of servers from a sqp server database then store the results back into a sql server database. Need some help gettin started can i run the windows ping program from within the service but not have the console come up? Or is there a better way of doing it?
Jump to PostYou could google for ping and c# and use some c# code to do it without spawning anything - which will be more compliant with working with a service
Jump to PostIt would be easier not to to be honest, if you want the output, its simpler to be in control and not reliant on anything else..

Hi liz,
