Send Message to remote PC in local network

Question

Hello friends. How can I in c# send Message box to remote computer? I have credentials of remote PC and know PC name. Can use for this purpose WMI?

Answer 1

Look into the NET SEND command. However, the messenger service needs to be enabled on the remote computer - you could use PSEXEC to start this.

Answer 2

Hi,

I think you're asking how to send a message to a remote computer via c#. If so, you have several options see below:

Microsoft message queuing - Only if you need a super robust framework that gauarantees delivery of your message even if destination goes offline.

UDP multicast message - You can use the System.NET.Sockets namespace to send UDP packets and build a client to listen for them which can be run of n number of remote server. This is not error checking and if the remote server is not up then you are out of luck.

TCP socket connection - You can use the System.NET.Sockets namespace to send TCP packets and build a client to listen for them which can be run of n number of remote server. This is error checking and if the remote server is not up then you are out of luck.

Hope this gives you some direction.

Enjoy!
