Application run in background

[satiss7pwr]

I have one web application in which I am calling one window application.

When I call that win app, it runs in background means it shows only in task manager but does not show any window of that application.

I have searched for this on MSDN support and do as directed, but nothing result.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string str = @"D:\GSDP\scan.exe";
Process process = new Process();
process.StartInfo.FileName = str;
process.Start();
}

this scan aaplication is run in only background in task manager, no any window displayed

Hi,
It sounds like you need to use a Windows service. These run behind the scenes and have no windows or forms to display (usually). They can run at start up if needed. Is that what you are after?

please send me code that how to call the window application as window service

hi,
You will be wanting to create a windows service instead of a standard windows application. You can't call an app and have it run like a service (maybe you can, but thats not what you need here).

there are many tutorials on the net. here's a simple one to start you off:

Hope that helps,

Maybe this application doesn't have a user interface.
