How to get status from Windows service on a server?
I plan to create a .NET windows service to perform data conversion on a server. I would like to be able to get status information from this service, such as details on the file being converted, from any other PC on the network. I can use .NET 2.x or 3.x.
What is the best way to get this information from a windows service?
Thank you for your help.

You can have it call a webservice with the status msg, you can write the info to the windows log, you can popup a notify icon, etc.
