Read properties of Windows Service from Windows Forms App

[Nemisis]

Hi everyone,

I believe this is possible as i think this is how anti-virus works, i
have created a windows service with a couple public readonly
properties and i would like to read these properties from a Windows
Forms application?


Is this possible?


I have made a windows service that reads and sends emails from a
message queue using a timer control. But because people log on and
log off of our server, i cannot have it as a windows forms
application, as it closes when you log off.


Can anyone point me in the right direction?? Thanks in advance

Hello,

you need some sort of inter process communcation. Look into WCF or Remoting
for this.
