.NET

Is it possible to write a key logger in Visual Basic.NET? Is this the right language to be using?

So far, I've gotten a console app to read input and append to a file.

1)How can I make a .NET program "catch" all keyboard input?

2)How do I make a process not show up in Task Manager?

This is not for a virus, but rather a parental control program for a specific clientele. No malicious intent here.
