I have created a DDE( Dynamic-Data Exchange) Client (Console) application to interact with a legacy DDE Server. This client is working perfectly

I am asked to develop same functionality in a windows service. I have already tried the following and have not achieved success til yet
1) Loading the Assembly (DLL) containing the DDE Client using AppDomain.Load / Assembly.Load
2) Loading a DDE Client (console app) using System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(filename);
3) Implementing DDE Client functionality in Windows Service itself.

It seems that Windows Service do not allow calling Windows Form Controls. So that is a problem.

My objective is to establish a DDE connection using DdeConnect and then send request to the DDE Server.

Can Somebody help me resolving this issue

thanx in advanced
