Get notified from logon and logoff

Question

I have to develop a program which runs on a local pc as a service an deliver couple of user status to a server. At the beginning I have to detect the user logon

Answer 1

I use ServiceBase.OnSessionChange to catch the different user events and load the necessary information afterwards.

protected override void OnSessionChange(SessionChangeDescription desc)
{
    var user = Session.Get(desc.SessionId);
}

To load the session information I use the WTS_INFO_CLASS. See my example below:

internal static class NativeMethods
{
    public enum WTS_INFO_CLASS
    {
        WTSInitialProgram,
        WTSApplicationName,
        WTSWorkingDirectory,
        WTSOEMId,
        WTSSessionId,
        WTSUserName,
        WTSWinStationName,
        WTSDomainName,
        WTSConnectState,
        WTSClientBuildNumber,
        WTSClientName,
        WTSClientDirectory,
        WTSClientProductId,
        WTSClientHardwareId,
        WTSClientAddress,
        WTSClientDisplay,
        WTSClientProtocolType,
        WTSIdleTime,
        WTSLogonTime,
        WTSIncomingBytes,
        WTSOutgoingBytes,
        WTSIncomingFrames,
        WTSOutgoingFrames,
        WTSClientInfo,
        WTSSessionInfo
    }

    [DllImport("Kernel32.dll")]
    public static extern uint WTSGetActiveConsoleSessionId();

    [DllImport("Wtsapi32.dll")]
    public static extern bool WTSQuerySessionInformation(IntPtr hServer, Int32 sessionId, WTS_INFO_CLASS wtsInfoClass, out IntPtr ppBuffer, out Int32 pBytesReturned);

    [DllImport("Wtsapi32.dll")]
    public static extern void WTSFreeMemory(IntPtr pointer);
}

public static class Status
{
    public static Byte Online
    {
        get { return 0x0; }
    }

    public static Byte Offline
    {
        get { return 0x1; }
    }

    public static Byte SignedIn
    {
        get { return 0x2; }
    }

    public static Byte SignedOff
    {
        get { return 0x3; }
    }
}

public static class Session
{
    private static readonly Dictionary User = new Dictionary();

    public static bool Add(Int32 sessionId)
    {
        IntPtr buffer;
        int length;

        var name = String.Empty;
        var domain = String.Empty;

        if (NativeMethods.WTSQuerySessionInformation(IntPtr.Zero, sessionId, NativeMethods.WTS_INFO_CLASS.WTSUserName, out buffer, out length) && length > 1)
        {
            name = Marshal.PtrToStringAnsi(buffer);
            NativeMethods.WTSFreeMemory(buffer);
            if (NativeMethods.WTSQuerySessionInformation(IntPtr.Zero, sessionId, NativeMethods.WTS_INFO_CLASS.WTSDomainName, out buffer, out length) && length > 1)
            {
                domain = Marshal.PtrToStringAnsi(buffer);
                NativeMethods.WTSFreeMemory(buffer);
            }
        }

        if (name == null || name.Length <= 0)
        {
            return false;
        }

        User.Add(sessionId, new User(name, domain));

        return true;
    }

    public static bool Remove(Int32 sessionId)
    {
        return User.Remove(sessionId);
    }

    public static User Get(Int32 sessionId)
    {
        if (User.ContainsKey(sessionId))
        {
            return User[sessionId];
        }

        return Add(sessionId) ? Get(sessionId) : null;
    }

    public static UInt32 GetActiveConsoleSessionId()
    {
        return NativeMethods.WTSGetActiveConsoleSessionId();
    }
}

public class AvailabilityChangedEventArgs : EventArgs
{
    public bool Available { get; set; }

    public AvailabilityChangedEventArgs(bool isAvailable)
    {
        Available = isAvailable;
    }
}

public class User
{
    private readonly String _name;

    private readonly String _domain;

    private readonly bool _isDomainUser;

    private bool _signedIn;

    public static EventHandler AvailabilityChanged;

    public User(String name, String domain)
    {
        _name = name;
        _domain = domain;

        if (domain.Equals("EXAMPLE.COM"))
        {
            _isDomainUser = true;
        }
        else
        {
            _isDomainUser = false;
        }
    }

    public String Name
    {
        get { return _name; }
    }

    public String Domain
    {
        get { return _domain; }
    }

    public bool IsDomainUser
    {
        get { return _isDomainUser; }
    }

    public bool IsSignedIn
    {
        get { return _signedIn; }
        set
        {
            if (_signedIn == value) return;

            _signedIn = value;

            OnAvailabilityChanged(this, new AvailabilityChangedEventArgs(IsSignedIn));
        }
    }

    protected void OnAvailabilityChanged(object sender, AvailabilityChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (AvailabilityChanged != null)
        {
            AvailabilityChanged(this, e);
        }
    }
}

The following code use the static AvailabilityChanged event from User, which gets fired as soon as the session state changes. The arg e contains the specific user.

public Main()
{
  User.AvailabilityChanged += UserAvailabilityChanged;
}

private static void UserAvailabilityChanged(object sender, AvailabilityChangedEventArgs e)
{
  var user = sender as User;

  if (user == null) return;

  System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(user.IsSignedIn);
}
