Re: desktop app talk with service app

Hello Remy.

Thanks for your answer.
Do you have any of your application available to the public?
I mean those COM servers hosted in service applications.

Otherwise, any place I can find some examples?

Thanks again

Can I run functions from service application?

Use RPC (remote procedure call) or ActiveX/COM for that. I prefer the
latter myself. I have written several services that host COM
out-of-process servers that applications can use to access the services
through.

If not, can I exchange data?

Of course.

I will retrieve all info and send from service to desktop using XML.
Any component for that?

Not specifically, no. But you can use any IPC (interprocess
communication) mechanism you want - named pipes, mailslots, TCP/IP
sockets, shared memory, etc.
