I have an idea of using a Windows service as a middle tier. Clients will use this middle tier from a small VB application on pc to communicate with a DB server. The middle tier will expose public functions to read and write to the SQL server from the clients. I can’t find any information on how I would actually create public methods in a windows service that can be accessed by a client application. I created a new windows service application with .net 2003, but I have only onstartup, onstop etc. I wish to use this service like a COM object. How would one call a method in a Windows service? or pass parameters to a public function in the service to write values to an SQL server? I have seen this done with a purchased application, but I’m not sure how it was done. Thanks all
 
What you are looking for is Remoting. This link should give you a starting
