Question

I’m developing an application (school project) which is a service + an external WPF UI.
I’ve planned to use WCF for UI-to-service communication.
Anyway, the service needs to notify the UI if some events occurs, and I’m looking for a simple way to do it.

Of course, any basic IPC would work, but I’d prefer not to mess up with pipes, mutex, events and so on.

In a native win32 app I’d have used a WM_USER message, but as far as I have understood it’s not natively supported by WPF.

Can someone point out some possible/best solution?

Thanks

You can use WCF Callback Operations for notifying the client.
