How can I open WinForm from Windows Service

I was tring the following options but it didn't work for me:

MyForm m_frmDetails = new MyForm();
m_frmDetails.Show();

or

MyForm m_frmDetails = new MyForm();
Application.Run(m_frmDetails);

does anyone know how to do it?

(I cannot use remoting)

You've have to enable the service to interact with the desktop, which
it doesn't by default. It may work then - but by and large services
really *shouldn't* use the desktop.
