Sending message from a server to a client

[khore]

Hi guys

I have created a consol application project in c# as my server and a windows application project in c# as my client.

In case an exception accourse during remoting an object, I want my server to send a message to a client. I want this message will be shown in a messagebox on the client side.

I have no idea how to send a message from a server to a client.

here is the code of the remoting object:

public String lookup(String name)
        {
         try
            {
                StreamReader SR;
                SR = File.OpenText("c:\\Yellow Page.txt");
                String S = "test";
                while (S != null)
                {
                    String read = SR.ReadLine();
                    if (read.Substring(0, name.Length).Equals(name))
                    {
                        String address = read.Substring(name.Length);
                        SR.Close();
                        return address;
                    }
                }
            }
 
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                Console.Out.WriteLine("No Match for " + name + " found:  "+ e);
            }

The last line, prints an exception on my server consol and program becomes locked which is not good.

Any recommendations?

Thanx
