I have a windows application(A), WCFService Library, WCFServiceApplication in my solution.

From windows application, when I hit submit, I can get data displayed on label.

Now what should I do to send the data from another application(Windows Application B) button click.

Here is code for Windows Application Form:

C#

private void btnMainWindow_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            ChannelFactory<IService1> factory = null;
            try 
            {
                BasicHttpBinding binding = new BasicHttpBinding();
                EndpointAddress address = new EndpointAddress("");
                factory = new ChannelFactory<IService1>(binding, address);
                IService1 channel = factory.CreateChannel();
                
            }
            catch (CommunicationException ex)
            {
                //Console.WriteLine(ex);
                if (factory != null)
                    factory.Abort();
            }
            catch (TimeoutException)
            {
                if (factory != null)
                    factory.Abort();
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                if (factory != null)
                    factory.Abort();
                //Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
            }
            MessageBox.Show("Proxy closed");
        }

My Interface

C#

[ServiceContract]
    public interface IMyService
    {
        [OperationContract]
        string GetData(int value);
    }

C#

public string GetData(int value)
        {
            return string.Format("You entered: {0}", value);
        }

What I have tried:

I took both WCFService Library and WCFServiceApplication because, I didn't add Service Reference.

Something like this, if the components are on the same machine you can use named pipes:

C#

using (ServiceHost host = new ServiceHost(
      typeof(GetData),
      new Uri[]{
        new Uri("http://localhost:8000"),
        new Uri("net.pipe://localhost")
      }))

This is the simplest example I could find: WCF Tutorial - Basic Interprocess Communication - Tech.pro[^]
