I wrote my first Windows Service Application today.
I did it on Visual Basic & Microsoft .Net 3.5 Platform.
And best of all I did it on Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition which is
Effin Free!!! Yeah Free Development Tool from Microsoft! You better believe that!
Big day indeed.
My service application basicly does this
1. Start up on boot and shutdown using windows service controler
2. Reads configuration from an XML file
3. Connect to SQL Server 2005 Express Edition (FOC software from Microsoft again!)
and get a list of clients to poll.
4. Extablish a connection to the clients and retrieve pre compiled string containing CPU, Memory & Hardisk Utilization.
5. Update SQL Server database.
6. Sleep 15 minutes for next run.
I'm taking the rest of the night off to rest because I'm driving back to KL early tomorrow morning. Bigger days tomorrow onward as I'm going to have to write my first full fledge ASP.net application as part of the application suite that I'm working on.
See you guys later as I try and catch some ZZZzzzZZZzzzzzz..
