I want to communicate between two different WPF windows. The WPF UI in first computer generates some data and add to a database table, then it generates a message which includes the unique ID of the new data in the table and forwards it to the another computer. Upon receiving the message with unique ID by same computer, it queries for that data in it and displays in it’s UI.
I don’t want the WPF application in the second computer to repeatedly (timer based) check the database. Instead I want to have some event listener in this application which just initiates an action upon receiving the message.;
Everything is being operated in LAN where, obviously, two computers are connected within the same network.
A suggestion and better solution will be a great help.
Microsoft have provided a framework for this very purpose:
