I have a C# Windows Service that performs certant actions on periodic bases. The System.Timers.Timer on the separete thread is used perform the actions. Some times those actiones need to be performed on demand. I need a way for console app to instract Windows Service to perform those actions. Thank you in advance

Those actions should be in separate assemblies

that can be included with your console application. You should not have to tie into a windows service at all.

All you need is a Messaging Queue to cater to your on-demand and scheduled service actions.
