accessing Windows Services help

Eric

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 canâ€™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 Iâ€™m not sure how it was done. Thanks all

Hi Eric,

We do also a lot of ADONET in this newsgroup. However now you are not
talking about the language but in my idea to the architecture wherefore you
better can have a lot of opinions.

I think that it is more a question for the newsgroup.

Adonet

However maybe you get also your answers here.

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
