Hello.

I'm creating a windows service and would like to add a tray icon for it.

Can this be done from a windows service app, or do I need to create a
controller app?

Thanks in advance,

Mike

There are good reasons for putting it in a separate application.
Services should generally not interact with the user desktop.

Pretty much what I thought.

Thanks Mattias.

its better in a separate application.
Let this application and service communicate.
(for example: once we used sockets to communicate-show status-control
after authentication)
