I am interested in write a client-server application in C# using web
services and ASP.NET. I am looking for a good book containing a
tutorial on how to do this. I want a C# front-end, not a browser
front-
end.

I have extensive experience with Java fat clients and the tomcat
server (author of >500K line program), but my C# experience is limited
(I wrote a small program for my Windows CE PDA in C#).

Any suggestions?

I suggest you look at WCF.

WCF is a way to write code, and then expose it different ways.
One way to expose the WCF Service is as a Web Service.

...

Programming WCF Services by Juval Lowy
is a great book.

See:
http://www.thoughtshapes.com/WCF/GettingStarted.htm
as well (if you want to start developing).
