Can WCF open process in remote machine?

Question

Suppose I have WCF service running on my remote machine, this service get string from the client, on this remote machine I have a .NET executable which I want to execute.

Is it possible to execute this executable from machine hosting the WCF service?

Answer 1

If I interpret your question correctly, you want to know if a WCF service is able to run an external executable and perhaps pass a string parameter. If the interpretation is correct, then you should be able to accomplish with:

Process.Start("someApplication.exe")
