Help to Invoke Method from Windows Service

[Eric]

I have a Windows service that I created that simply exposes a single public
function (RemoteCall). How can I access this publicly exposed method of a
windows service from a windows application? I'm using this as an example to
expand to other more useful methods such as datasets etc. from the service.
I will provide the service code. If someone could provide the client code I
would be grateful.
Windows Service Code:
Imports System.ServiceP rocess
Imports System.Runtime. Remoting
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Runtime. Remoting.Channe ls.Tcp
Imports System.Runtime. Serialization.F ormatters.Binar y

Public Class Service1
Inherits System.ServiceP rocess.ServiceB ase

#Region " Component Designer generated code "

Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()

' This call is required by the Component Designer.
InitializeCompo nent()

' Add any initialization after the InitializeCompo nent() call

End Sub

'UserService overrides dispose to clean up the component list.
Protected Overloads Overrides Sub Dispose(ByVal disposing As Boolean)
If disposing Then
If Not (components Is Nothing) Then
components.Disp ose()
End If
End If
MyBase.Dispose( disposing)
End Sub

' The main entry point for the process
<MTAThread()> _
Shared Sub Main()
Dim ServicesToRun() As System.ServiceP rocess.ServiceB ase

' More than one NT Service may run within the same process. To add
' another service to this process, change the following line to
' create a second service object. For example,
'
' ServicesToRun = New System.ServiceP rocess.ServiceB ase () {New
Service1, New MySecondUserSer vice}
'
ServicesToRun = New System.ServiceP rocess.ServiceB ase() {New
Service1}

System.ServiceP rocess.ServiceB ase.Run(Service sToRun)
End Sub

'Required by the Component Designer
Private components As System.Componen tModel.IContain er

' NOTE: The following procedure is required by the Component Designer
' It can be modified using the Component Designer.
' Do not modify it using the code editor.
Friend WithEvents SqlConnection1 As System.Data.Sql Client.SqlConne ction
<System.Diagnos tics.DebuggerSt epThrough()> Private Sub
InitializeCompo nent()

End Sub

#End Region
