Looking for pointers...
-
I am about to embark on creating a service for the first time. Does anyone have any good pointers or reading material that will help me understand how to code a service? I am very familiar with Application based apps with user and nonuser interaction. But a service I am not to familiar with though I do know the services function vs a applications function. Second Question... In building a service I need for a mechanism for a application to pass a command or paramater to the service and have the service return the results of the command or parameter to the application. Does anyone have any pointers on how I can accomplish this?

Services are pretty easy. I'm sure google will provide plenty of articles. As for communicating between your service and an application, that's just normal Inter Process Communication ( IPC ). WCF is the technology de jour. Nick
