Hello,

I would liek to know what is the best solution for “X Window” server.

Prefer a compiled executable which we can execute in our c# software or
an API we can call which starts running an “X Window” server.

Thanks a lot!

There are several different implementations of the X Window System
which run on top of Windows. The ones that you're going to be
interested in are the ones which are freely available. For that, you
have two options: Cygwin plus its implementation of X11, or the Xming
server. If you need Unix-like software to be present as well, I'd
recommend going the Cygwin route. If you simply need an X11 display to
forward GUI applications from some other UNIX or UNIX-like box, Xming
is probably the best route because it doesn't depend on the Cygwin
POSIX emulation layer.

Either way, starting the X server will be the same as starting any
other new process.

HTH,
Mike
