I'm not sure I know what you're looking for ... you can :-

a) send a 'Custom command' to a Windows Service Program using ServiceController.ExecuteCommand

const int DoSomething = 666;

service.ExecuteCommand(DoSomething);
service.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus.Running, timeout);

This can be done in an external eg Console mode program. The Service implements/overrides ServiceBase.OnCustomCommand to react ..

C#

protected override void OnCustomCommand(int command)
{
    if (command == DoSomething)
    {
        // ...
    }
}

b) have a 'receiver' (named pipes, tcp/ip) in your service that receives a 'message' from an external source and does something like process a 'task'

c) you can have a Service built with Quartz.Net for example that runs 'tasks', by using all sorts of scheduling specs, eg cron type specs

but, as you have written it, no, you cannot 'call a method in windows service' - maybe you need to update your question and refine your requirements a touch more

Solution 3

using (ServiceReference1.WebServiceSoapClient WS = new ServiceReference1.WebServiceSoapClient())
{
DataTable Result = WS.Get();
}
