Custom plugin that communicates with a custom windows service

[Anonymous]

Hello all,

I am new here and I wanted to ask firstly whether is it possible to write a custom plugin that communicates with a  custom windows service. 
If yes, can I have some basic guidelines on how to start with it?

Thank you very much,
Maria
