Interact with a Service

[max_carpenter]

Good Afternoon,

I have never interacted with Varbiles outside of the projject but now in need of it.

I am developing a Windows Service Application that is multi-threaded. There is going to be a set of Global Varibles in the application that contain basic status information such as how many threads are currently running, What clients are currently connected etc.

Now I would like to develop another application as a monitor. This one would be a Windows Forms App and its sole purpose is to display to the user this information so that is can be monitored.

Is there an easy way of doing this? If not I don't think I will bother as the Monitor is not essential.

Thanks,
Max

I would say the easist method is to use .Net remoting (WCF for VS2010 from all accounts, I have not used it myself). I use it to talk between a web interface and a windows service to do this same thing, give a UI to my service that the user can edit/view what it is doing.
