If this is a command-line application, you can read input data using command-line arguments and send out response on standard output device.
If it is a Windows application, you can use named pipes or WCF etc. If that's complicated, you can simply write output to a log file and then read that file from other applications.

easy use:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.environment.exit.aspx
Environment.Exit(codetoreturn);
Use a non-zero number to indicate an error. In your application, you can define your own error codes in an enumeration, and return the appropriate error code based on the scenario. For example, return a value of 1 to indicate that the required file is not present and a value of 2 to indicate that the file is in the wrong format. For a list of exit codes used by the Windows operating system, see System Error Codes in the Windows documentation.
