Hi Alex,
You should look at the .NET remoting or Web Services. The former is more
appropriate when the whole application will be working within a LAN, and the
latter is better suitable for applications or tiers communicating to each
other over the Internet.
There are newsgroups dedicated to both of the topics:
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.remoting
microsoft.public.dotnet.aspnet.webservices
Hope this helps.
