As I understand it you want to invoke a function in a running process from a Windows Server (another process). you have a few options to achieve this, from the top of my head those options are WCF[^], .NET Remoting[^](Legacy technology) or IPC (Inter-process communication)
for IPC see Simple Inter-Process Communication In VB.Net[^], Inter-Process Communication (IPC) Introduction and Sample Code[^] and google for more, there are tons of articles on all three subjects out there.
