It can be done in round round way.. 1) Create another application ie form application and create a property that will be displayed as the message. 2) When you require to show the message create the object of this Form and set the property to the message you want and call the Show() Method. 3) Now go to your service right click > Properties > In the first tab you will find some check box called "Allow the service to interact with desktop") and restart the service. Note : It is highly discouraged to set the option "Allow the service to interact with desktop". Thanks Laddie Kindly rate if the answer was helpful

HI

Remoting will be easier than direct sockets. Romoting and direct sockets will have the same issues with configuration of the firewall. Based on the restrictions you have mentioned, remoting over tcp seems like the most workable solution. Webservices would be the easier way. Remoting over http is similar to webservices, but if you can't run iis on the other side, neither will work. Another option would be to run an ftp server on the other side but if they are reluctant to install iis then ftp is likely not an option either. http://blog.darrenstokes.com
