I have got a windows forms project than copying files and folders to clients in my domain. When copying file or copying directory process to [x]clients in my domain. I want to send it a Messagebox that says ‘There is a new folder or file in your [xdirectory]’.
I can’t do it by Messenger service because of Messenger service is does not working in XP Sp2 so I need another way for this. Maybe a client/server side application could be make. There will be a listener app in client then I will send it a messagebox.show code then it will show us a messagebox. etc.
You can use the FileSystemWatcher in the client. That way you do not have to deal with remoting or listening on ports.
If you really want to communicate between the two machines you can do using remoting, or via the TcpListener.
