Function Call in other exe file

[msnews.microsoft.com]

Hello.
Can I execute function in my code from other exe file (exe file is writen by
me)?
I also want pass some parameters to the function.
How can I do this?

It would be a lot easier if it was a .dll and you just added a reference,
however if you don't mind doing a little work, you can do it with
System.Reflection. You won't be passing it to that function per se unless
you want to start that .exe. If you want to use that function and use
reflection you'll be creating it locally so to speak.

Check out Reflection on MSDN

HTH,

I have a Windows Service exe file (it's executed) and I want to call
function which is in this exe from my code.
How can I do it?

Can you send me some little simples of each method?

There are a number of ways you can do this:
1. The service exe can expose itself in the running object table. The client can get the instance from there. 2. You can use .Net Remoting and make a remote call.
3. The exe can expose its method as a web service.

None of these are trivial, but none are hard either.
