Hai ALL

I want to store all the newly started services in services.msc. This can be as an event like a pop-up to tell the user that this service added newly. The list should be maintained in a text file. So that the user can know the services that are are running in the system. Help me through c# code. Thank U in advance.

I'm not sure of the advisability of what you want to do, my system runs loads and loads of services and I would get extremely annoyed if each one threw up a dialog.

I am also not sure if there is a built in event that you can use, although I could be wrong on that.

If I am correct then you would need to poll the Event Log periodically for new entries and take whatever action you want when you find one related to a service.

In case it is any help to you here[^] is some code using WMI to access the Event Log.
