C# Programming

Hi.
I have a windows service. I want to write an (C# .net) application that users run to communicate with the service. There is no restriction on .net version but security is important. What solution do you suggest?
I did a bit of research and found out named pipes and LRPC are good choices among other technologies. However it looks like in .net we'd better use WCF which, for IPC, supports named pipes. But WCF seems to have a steep learning curve. So I decided to ask you before I start to learn it.
Thank you very much for you help in advanced.
