Monitor/Manage a .NET Service with a NotifyIcon Application

[Mark]

I have created a service for windows (.NET 3.5 framework) and I want to
create an application (basically a NotifyIcon with options to start/stop and
set/modify some configuration settings for the service). In researching (via
Google) I've read that .NET Remoting is the best method to accomplish this
.... only problem is I can't find any samples to learn from.

Can someone either link or post some sample code on how to do this?

Much appreciated!

Mark,

You need remoting as you are doing this on a server (even as that is a
workstation somewhere), is that the case?

Try this newsgroup search latter on, at the moment even a search for
Herfried returns nothing.

As it is about a notifyicon I would add Armin to my search string

Hello Mark

You have a few options to comunicate with your service

The most common is a service controler, then you have the option of
remoting ( wich is nowadays a part of WCF windows comunication foundation )
and last but not least the option of IO based interaction ( config file ,
database etc etc )
