Open C# form from other application

I have a C# desktop application running and my requirement is that an another application (May not be a DotNet App) needs to be open a particular form in the running C# application. Can anyone tell me how to achieve this?

So this other application needs to force something to happen in your C# program?

Are you coding that other program? You could have it pump a special windows Message to your C# program, which would have it's message pump overrridden to handle that special message and do something.

If you just want your C# program to do something when it notices said OTHER program launches, you could take a look at the Process class, and the listing of all active Processes maybe?
