how to call an API on a remote machine

Hi,

I have an application installed on a remote server that also has an SDK
installed. I want to be able to access some of the API stuff within the SDK
from any other machine. The API will perform function on the server it is
installed on.

Is it possible to call those API on the server, and get back the result to
my local machine?

Thanks

How do you access the server from the client?

Is it possible to place a program on the server?

Hi Aussie,
I think you can add reference to file which resides on a remote server
via "browse" tab from "add reference" if your API is located within a
DLL.

But after building and compiling your project, the DLL may have been
copied to your local application's bin\debug folder.ü

Thanks,

Hi Herfried,

The client and server are on the same network, and the client is logged into
the network...

I could have another application running on the server that acts inbetween
the two if that is a solid method.

Thanks

In addition to the above if your goal is to interact with a process that
must be running and perform actions on the server WCF / Remoting is the way
to go
