Hi guys,

I'm building one solution with two projects:

1. Windows Service.

The windows service starts with this code:

ManagementGroup mg = new ManagementGroup("localhost");

2. Console Application.

When the Windows service starts the console application must use the management group connection from the service. If the service doesn't start my console application must give an error. The error is no problem, but how do i call code from the other project.

Can you give me a little example of how to do this?

Kind regards,

André

Solution 1

See Mark Gravell's solution here: https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!topic/microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.csharp/TUXp6lRxy6Q[^] (you could find it more clearly in my article[^]).
You can extend the entry point of that executable to perform the task you need.
