Question hello syed
I need to make a service that records any changes made to the system date to a file.
What i am currenly doing is to record the system date during the service onstart() to the registry.
Then using a timer control every 5 seconds to check whether the system date is same as the date in the registry or not.If it is not same then record the change to a file and reset the date in the registry to the now changed date, else do nothing.
Is this approach correct or is there a better way of doing this?
Thanks
PS: I cant get the service to work ,it is in the admistrator->services and is running but it does not record any change.But when i use the same code as a windows application it works fine and records everything.
