  You can't make direct contact with a Windows desktop program from a Windows service in the manner you may be trying to do in executing a method on the running desktop program that I know about.

  There are ways to do it like using WCF.

  Just what is it that you are trying to do?

  Hello,

  your source code looks like C#, so ask in a C# forum: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/home?forum=csharpgeneral
