I am looking for an alternate to web services.

This is what I’m trying to accomplish:
On a server, I have a database with a lot of information on it. My clients will use a desktop application to securely log on and make changes and then log off.

At first, I had planned to create a web service, with methods to make changes and connect to database. But for reasons, I have to look towards something else.

Could please help me out?

Thanks!

    You can use WCF to implement a service with interchangeable “bindings”

    Binding. The binding specifies how to communicate with the endpoint. The binding specifies how the endpoint communicates with the world, including which transport protocol to use (for example, TCP or HTTP), which encoding to use for the messages (for example, text or binary), and which security requirements are necessary (for example, Secure Sockets Layer [SSL] or SOAP message security). For more information, see Using Bindings to Configure Services and Clients.
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms735096.aspx

    See “System-Provided Bindings” for some options.
