I have a strange application in that for development and testing I need a windows forms application so that I can monitor what it is doing. For production, the application will be started from a service and no visible UI is needed. I dont really want to re-write the app. once it is completed into a console app so I would like to leave it as it but start it from the service.

My question is will this application work fine from a service? At the moment it has UI elements and I have been able to successfully start the application from a service using the Process class (System.Diagnostics).

Could anything go wrong with this approach?

    I think there is no issue.

    If the application is a console app, you could have controlled the visibility using a configuration only. Now, you need to have another application (Winform) to do the same thing.
