Two part question:
1- I'm in the process of creating a service app with VB.net VS2005 -
MyService.
I have a get and set property that can return values if I can access it. -
MyProperty
Question is from another application, on another machine how can I get and
set Myproperty on the service while its running?

2- The service does not have a UI, but sometimes it will be necessary for me
to modify some of its configuration settings while its running. Can anyone
point me to sample code that lets you do that.

Thanks for any help.

Hi,

Take a look at remoting.
