Dude, you need to know the difference between Windows Service & Web Service.

You sound like in a need of Web-service and trying a windows service instead.

Hi Khaula,

Ad reference System.ServiceProcess and use the below code to call the windows service.

<br />
ServiceController myController = new ServiceController("Name of Service");<br />

And use the instace myController to do what you want.
