Q:

Alternative ways to output messages

I'm writing a service using Microsoft.NET framework 3.5 and I would like to send some status 
messages/notify on error without using the event log, a log file or by email.
Any tips on how I can achieve this/possible/wise? 

A:

Have you thought about Log4Net ?
It can send email, or store entries on the database, or send messages remotely.
Have a look at the options it provides.
