Hi,
I have written a windows service in .net. I install it on my server and
now I can start it and stop it remotely from any machine on my network
using a .net application that i wrote too.

However I would like to know how I can receive messages from the
windows service. For example I would like to access member
variales/functions of the service from my .net application

Can you help ?

Thanks

Take a look at .NET remoting. In particular the RemotingServices.Marshal
function.
