Converting COM Windows Service to .NET

[Chris Trueman]

I have a Windows service that exposes a number of objects through COM. The
functionality is consumed by ASP pages and some regular desktop clients.

Looking at the .NET equivalent I assume that the best approach is to use
..NET remoting to connect ASP.NET pages/regular desktop clients to .NET
objects exposed from the .NET implemented Windows service. Is this the
best way? If not, what would you recommend?

Many thanks.

..NET Remoting works well in this environment. You might also try WCF.
