connecting windowsapplication to windowsservice 1

[GSharp69]

hi everybody,

i've made a windowsservice thats running on the server
i also have made a windowsapplication with some datagrids for data monitoring.

Now i want to add a button on a form of the windowsapplication so i can give commands to the windowsservice on the server?

Anyone has a good method for this? I already tried with a servicecontroller, this works but only for local services on the local pc and not for services on the server.

I've read something about remoting! Anyone has some explanation or good, clear examples about this? i've never done something like this

thx in advance

grtz

Remoting would be good. WCF would be good (although a lot heavier!). Named Pipes, sockets, MSMQ, or any other traditional inter-process communications mechanism will all work.

For remoting, there's a pretty good book called Advanced .NET Remoting by Ingo Rammer and Mario Szpuszta available.
