Using WSE to talk to a .NET Windows Service?

Michael Herman \(Parallelspace/OpenCanal\)

We're creating a Windows Service with the .NET Framework (.NET 1.1 and VS
2003) and have an obvious requirement to send commands and data to control
the Windows Service.

In the Windows Service, we're thinking of implementing a SOAP listener on a
"private port" using WSE to support the above requirement.

In addition, the console for the Windows Service will be able to register
for notifications (which the Windows Service would deliver as SOAP messages
to a port supplied by the console app when it registers with the Windows
Service via a previous SOAP call).

1. Does anyone know of any issues with this approach?

2. Is anyone aware of any sample code that implements a similar approach?

System tray problem using a custom shell instead of windows explorer

by: none | last post by:

Hello all, I wrote a shell program a few years ago in VB6 that needs to be modified. The problem I have is this: The SysAdmin uses this shell in place of Explorer, so there is no taskbar. When his users run PC Anywhere from the shell, and minimize it, it minimizes to the system tray. With no task bar, there is no system tray, so there is no way to restore the PC Anywhere window. The shell starts PC Anywhere using ShellExecute. I...
