Hi,
I want a exe application to run as a NT service, what is the format
that this service can export some standard interface/API?

If other applications want to call functions in a .exe NT service,
what type of communications can I use, passing value or IPC or RPC or
winsock?

Anybody can guide or point me to appropriate resource is very
appreciated.

RPC or COM (which would most likely use RPC under the covers) is the way to
go. Start with an IDL file and go from there.
