I have two processes both developed in C#.
One of them is a Windows Service, the other one a normal windows based application.
What I intend to do is to exit the application from Service,
I don’t intend to kill it forcibly, which i am able to do. I want to exit it gracefully.
Can i call the application_close function defined in my application through the service.
Process.CloseMainWindow()is what you’re looking for, I believe.http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.process.closemainwindow.aspx
Edit: If you really want to implement IPC, I’ve found utilizing message queues to be the most easily-implemented solution in windows, but even that isn’t very simple, and I wouldn’t recommend it when all you want is resource cleanup on exit.
