You'd need the service to provide some means for client-communication. This could be via a TCP server, a remoting service, or even a WCF service.

[Edit]

Based on your further responses (which I removed since they need to be comments), here's a good intro article to using WCF:

Based on call semantic (which I'm not sure, can only rely of OP's view, it has to be WCF (but classic remoting, too)). My 5.

I added conceptual explanation of what a "call" is, which could explain why so.

Just an important conceptual note: a notion of "call" is only valid for the code of the same thread (not just the same Application Domain or the same process). The call mechanism is fundamentally based on stack, but different thread use different stacks.

Everything else with call semantic could be inter-thread invocation (withing the same Application Domain) or RPC (Remote Procedure Call, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_procedure_call[^]).

Again, important to understand: even for different processes on the same machine, even for different Application Domain of the same Process it has to be RPC.

With .NET, RPC semantics is implemented with classic remoting or WCF.

Solution 1

You don't "call" a windows service. You can send it commands (if you have sufficient privileges), and you can probably even set it up to be a WCF server.

Security would be an issue, especially if the computer in question wasn't on the same LAN as you. Performing due diligence in the form of research on your part is suggested. Google is your friend.
