Inter Process Communication between Silverlight OOB & Non-Silverlight Desktop Application

Question

I have a Silverlight OOB Application installed, and I want to send messages to this application from any non-silverlight desktop application (Let this application be any WinForms, or Console Application). How can I achieve this?

Answer 1

For anyone looking over this old thread, you can create a duplex wcf service using http polling. Call the service from any application, the silverlight client can be registered as a callback and then receive messages directly from the server.
