Damo222 Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 I had a scenario where I would have a windows form application running on the same machine as a .Net web service. I want an external application to be able to activate a "start record" button on the form by interacting with a web service. Do how a web service can invoke a control on a Windows Form? Any help appreciated, D Quote
Administrators PlausiblyDamp Posted February 5, 2009 Administrators Posted February 5, 2009 There is no real way for a webservice to force anything out to a client, the client would need to call the web service and act on the result in some way. If you need the server to be able to contact the client then you may find an alternate mechanism (such as remoting) to be more useful.

Damo222 Posted February 6, 2009 Author Posted February 6, 2009 Thanks for the info, yeah I was looking at remoting as a solution but since both the server and client reside on the same server, I opted for sockets rather than remoting. Quote
