Expose DLL thru Web Service

Hello i'm working on a personal project. It is a web/text based game.

I'm planning on making my classes into DLL and exposing their methods in Web Service.

I'm pretty sure this is possible. But can't find a good tutorial on how to start with this.

So far, i know how to make DLL, I know how to create Web Service. But can anyone help me with exposing my DLL thru Web Service?

  1. Create the web service (e.g. using C#)

  2. Add references to your .dll (e.g. using PInvoke)

  3. Voila. You've just "exposed your .dll through a web service".

Here's a link describing how to call unmanaged code in a .dll from C#. You can find many other, similar references on the web. The mechanism is the same, regardless if the C# code is for a Windows form, a console app ... or a web service:
