Yes this did help give me some clairty on how WCF works. However, I'm still confused on how exactly I can use this to fit my needs. I apologize to begin with because I am a novice developer and even less experience with WCF. Let me first describe what I am trying to do, and maybe you could simplify it for me.
I have a Asp.Net web application running on a server. I then also have a Windows Service running on a different server. The windows service is a simple text file searcher. When the user enters a term on the Web site I want to hand the search term over to the windows service so it can search a text file for the term that was entered by the user.
I think WCF is the best method to do this?
Could I right click on my Web App, go to Add -> WCF Service (then host it via IIS) and make an end point in my Windows Service?
Thank you in advance for any help you're able to give me, I've been stuck on this for days!
