Capture screen as windows service

Posted 08 October 2010 - 03:57 PM

Hi,
System.Drawing.Graphics.CopyFromScreen throws me a System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception when I invoke it inside onstart method of class inherited from ServiceBase. When I invoke it outside service (inside the same context - the same arguments) all is fine. Does anyone know how to solve this :sad2: ?

Post the entire exception, Message included. Also InnerExceptions, if there are any, with their messages.

Could it be that the service has to be setup to interact with the desktop?
