As in asking for the data, instead of getting events.

Get new version at top.

Nice work frodo I have been playing with this in VB.Net. What do MSK.exe and RH.exe do located in the services folder?

I am having problems getting the CurrentChannelData Event to fire. Using VB.Net 2003:
Private Sub XM_CurrentChannelData(ByVal Number As Integer, ByVal Station As String, ByVal Artist As String, ByVal Title As String, ByVal Genre As String) Handles XM.CurrentChannelData
MsgBox("Current Channel Data") 'message box does not show up
End Sub
I also tried this in your vb project as:
Private Sub MXM_CurrentChannelData(ByVal Number As Long, ByVal Station As String, ByVal Artist As String, ByVal Title As String, ByVal Genre As String)
MsgBox ("hi") 'did not fire
End Sub
Could you confirm if this is a bug or a problem with my code?

They are helper applications for various functions, they must always
remain in the same directory as the service app.

Is there anyway to contain them as one exe? I used Microsoft Server 2003 Resource Kit tools (svrany.exe and inssrv.exe (sp?)) to create a windows service in services in the control panel. I have not full tested it yet it seemed to work with just the FrodoXMService.exe and FrodoXMService.ini I will have to add those helper apps in the same directory and see how it functions.
Yes other events are firing, the ones I am using that are working are SignalStrength, ChannelData and CurrentTime.
Thanks for this kick a$$ service. Now I just need to get ListViews working properly in .Net, they changed there behavior compared to vb6

To answer both your questions, here are the exact definitions of "MSK.exe" and "RH.exe"

MSK.exe - is "Make Sure Kill" It is called when the service is shutting down, in case
of an unrecovereable error, it will make sure the service terminates properly.

RH.exe - is "Restart Helper" It is called when the service is restarted, does the same
function as MSK, but also restarts the app, and some other minor checks.
