Application design consideration

Hi,

I have two applications. One is a WinForm (in future it will be a service)
and gets some data from serial port and adds them into database. It can be
named as a beck-end appliacation. The second one, fron-end application, is a
WebForm user interface. I would like to inform the WinForm (or in future
service) application from the WebApplication to make some processing, no
matters how it will finish or what will happen - something like a clicikng of
a virtual button by a Web appliaction by a Win application.

Do you have any ideas? I have been thinking about MSMQ, or Remoting but not
sure if it is the best way.

Thanks.

The easiest way would be to just drop some values in a db that the windows
service can read at a regular poll, perhaps through a web service method
call - the values indicating to the windows service to do something

Thank you.
But what do you think about using MSMQ? Using database looks little like
implementing msmq my own way.

I think for what you have suggested its overkill and will take you
considerably more lines of code to implement.
