Communicating with a service

[John]

Hi

I need a vb.net winform app to be able to query a service (also written in
vb.net) and get info in return. Is it possible? Is there a way to do this?

Thanks

Regards

There are many different solutions: sockets, named pipes, .NET remoting,
....

A web service I'm guessing? If so please just use the "Add web
reference" option (if in vs 2005). If you're using 2008 do a google
search (something I wonder if you ever do) and look for the how-to,
it's changed from 2005.

Depends on how the service was built, but take a look at ServiceControll er.
