vb/window serivce

[Guest]

Hi, I use C# to build a window service, inside it, there is a complex
function
dosomething() .

Now in asp/VB, I need to call the docomething(), is it possible?

You should expose the dosomething method through a remoting or WCF
endpoint, and then connect to that endpoint from the ASP (is this ASP or
ASP.NET)/VB (is this VB.NET or VB6?) service.

If you are using ASP/VB6, then you can probably create a COM component
exposed from .NET which will make the call to your service through
WCF/Remoting.

Don't use a service for this (if you can), use COM+ component services
(System.EnterpriseServices) to expose this functionality to ASP/VB
(downlevel ASP/VB), you can even configure the COM+ service as a Windows
Service. The same COM+ application can be used as-is from managed clients,
all you need to do is change the asp side whenever you decide to migrate to
ASP.NET.

Thanks Willy,
How to do that?
