I think the simplest way would be to use .NET remoting which I've used
myself in a similar scenario. Otherwise you could use filesystem (poor
solution), MSMQ, custom sockets. If you search after it in the web or
MSDN library you will find a lot of good help and documentation.

Hi Sondre , well , I am trying to avoid the overhead of writing the
code for using such technologies

Sockets seems odd to me specially when transferring the same machine,
and the need to pass massive data size.

From a brief inspection of MSMQ I got the impression that implementing

this communication will be heavy task.
MSMQ from Microsoft:
Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ) technology enables applications
running at different times to communicate across heterogeneous networks
and systems that may be temporarily offline. Applications send messages
to queues and read messages from queues. MSMQ provides guaranteed
message delivery, efficient routing, security, and priority-based
messaging. It can be used to implement solutions for both asynchronous
and synchronous messaging scenarios.


Thank you

Hello (e-mail address removed),
Well you answered your own question ... using soap over http! The windows
service should create a web service proxy and invoke messages on that proxy
to communicate with the web service. Now you could make that connection asynchronous
using queues like you suggested, but you would need to write a client that
polls the queue and makes requests to the web service.
