Ok, a .NET question this time
I have a question ?
Is it possible to create a windows service that performs a specific function. Lets say add two numbers.
Next i want to call the fucntion AddNumbers from a windows forms application.
How hard can this be, So many guru’s around here can anybody point me in the right direction ?
My guess is you want your Windows Service to act as a container for a Math component implementing the AddNumbers function?
– Expose the service interface using .Net remoting (note that .Net remoting offers no build-in security)
– Host the Math component in COM+ and generate a proxy referenced by your WinForm client
– Wire up a web service as the Facade over your Math component
And Roland is correct, 320 offers a lot of information on how to service functionality.
