Service return value   

I have this situation :

A windows service checks every 5min a webservice that provides urls where 
you can find updates. The service downloads the updates (using BITS).
Now I want to use a desktop application to check if there are downloads 
being transferred. So, I want to check the service or something. How can the 
service produce a return value to my application ??

Any help would be welcome :)


Regards,
Gene

Use REMOTING. Have desktops in your LAN or local computer subscribe to a
