I found some problems:
1- The MSI installer fails. No files are written on the disk (yes, I'm logged as SA)
2- When launche from inside VS2005 the program crashed when trying to insert 2 new records in the grid. After the click on "save" the application raise an IndexOutOfRangeException.
Here is the stacktrace:

   in System.RuntimeMethodHandle._InvokeMethodFast(Object target, Object[] arguments, SignatureStruct& sig, MethodAttributes methodAttributes, RuntimeTypeHandle typeOwner)
   in System.RuntimeMethodHandle.InvokeMethodFast(Object target, Object[] arguments, Signature sig, MethodAttributes methodAttributes, RuntimeTypeHandle typeOwner)

If I try to load the application again, it fails with another IndexOutOfRangeException in Form1.cs, at line 73
Hope this helps

Why not use (or extend) coding4fun System Monitor?

Nice!
Did you see this in your research?
http://www.watchmouse.com/windows/site_monitor.php
It works both from your PC or with a free webbased monitoring solution

Hi Mads,

you should have tried UpdatePatrol (http://www.updatepatrol.com) from a fellow Danish developer It does all you need and more, while keeping complexity down.

While the tool itself is very good, the installer isn't. It doesn't allow me to choose folder where to install (for the record, it is %programfiles%/.NET Slave/Site Monitor/ - I had to use search to find it.). It adds itself to startup without asking from me. Doesn't create folder/item in start menu...

Thankfully, I can just move it to a place where I keep such single-exe applications that don't require install - c:\tools\

Nice work!
I like how you store the info in a ";" separated file

line.Split(';')

nice tool, but please save other users the trouble and allow for a configurable destination directory.  i had to search my computer for this.

Thank you very much for this cool tool!!

The Site Monitor is exactly what I searched for but no one offers.

But I have a suggestion:
Is it possible to import a bunch of web urls into the Site Monitor? A kind of import for csv files or something similar.
