Hi all,
I am new to ADA, so sorry if this has been asked before.
I am wanting to write a windows service, I have no experience writing
code in ADA or C++ or VB for that matter. I do have plenty writing in
VBScript and PHP and HTML, and some C (a long time ago).
I prefer to lean by reading manual's and other web pages, however I
can't seem to find anything relevant to what I am trying to do. Probably
this is just cause I'm new to this language and don't know where to
look, so I am hoping for a few pointers to some helpful relevant links.
Any pointers in the right direction are appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave.

Hi David,
http://www.adapower.com has a complete section on Windows development.
Probably where you'd want to go first. look for GWindows among other
things. http://www.gnavi.org/gwindows/ is the direct link to everything
GWindows related.
Also, on my website (http://www.adaworld.com) in my projects pages
(application projects and binding projects both) there's windows related
material there.
I would have to suggest brushing up your Ada skills a bit, since it's been a
long time since you did C programming. Just take a look here:
http://www.techtutorials.info/prada.html, Ada Power has some interesting
reading material as well. Also, my website has a learning center, take a
look at the tutorials there.
Hope this helps.

well, this should not help a lot in writing a windows service...

ok.
a Windows service is not written specifically in Ada, and i'm not sure you will
find any example on writing a Windows service in Ada. but you can do it...
first, learn programming again (using your old C background for example), and
learn Ada.
then, learn how to interact with Windows from Ada (using Win32Ada for example).
then you will need to understand how you can write a service. here are some
pointers that can serve as a starting point:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dndllpro/html/msdn_ntservic.asp
http://www.devx.com/cplus/Article/9857
(you may consider first writing a standard application, then, when everything
is working, converting it to a service)
hope this helps.

You'll proberbly find this difficult, but the best service package I've seen
written in Ada is Ted Dennison's Seti@home service. Google for it, and try to
understand how it works, then reuse what you see fit

I just wanted to say thanks heaps to everyone who replied, I now have
the pointers I was after and am busily reading. Thanks these answers are
exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks,
Dave.
