Hi,
I'm currently stuck with a big problem. I must develop a Windows service
and an application to configure it and display what is happening. The
problem is not really on the service side, but on the application side. I
explain:
The service is composed of a kernel dynamicaly loading plug-ins modules and
starts the process of each module. Until nous, it's not that hard.
The hard part is when it comes to the application to configure the service
and display what is happening. Each module has it's own configuration panel
and it's own display panel. I'm not that familiar with which information I
can pass from my service to my application, so I need to know if there is a
way I can pass an instance of a control from my service to my application
and how can I do it? I've been searching all over the net to find it, but it
seems nobody ever did it (or they didn't put the solution on the net)
And I would have something else. In fact I would like to have the opinion of
someone else on that. My software is designed that way :
Module1 ---- ---- Module2
\ /
Module3 ----Kernel ---- Module4
/ \
Module5 ---- ---- Module6
Service ----Using----- Kernel
Application ----Communicating With ---- Service
Application ----Displays---- ModuleX.ConfigurationPanel or
ModuleX.ActionPanel that came from the Service
First of all, would anyone see a better design involving a service for
displaying the information? if you do, what is it and why(if possible)?
thanks
