I have a .NET service. I have a .NET console application. I want something along the lines of the service calling Process.Start("consoleapp.exe") and getting some information returned back from the app, ideally just returning a number. How do I do this?

I have a windows forms application that reads and updates an XML file with information which a windows service must act on. This has been working on Windows Server 2003, XP and Vista (x32) for some time.

I have a Windows service that needs to run on a PC that is left on 24 hours. I can't rely on the PC having sleep/shut down disabled because it is something being installed on around 3500 sites and X, Y or Z might mean that sleep/shut down is not disabled. Is there some neat .NET way I can keep Windows from snoozing? Or would periodica...
