Re: Big-Picture Question (Web Services, RegNow)

Thanks for the input. I'm contacting RegNow to see why this is not an
option.

BTW, does anyone know of a way to return multiple fields from a Web service?
I'm only able to see how to return a single field (the function's return
value).

Thanks.

Webservices are the solution when you are faced with the following two
situations:

1) your code needs to be available over the web (duh!)

2) your code needs to be available in more than one web app

Are you intending to provide some sort of web portal which other
organisations can use to provide on-line licence keys for their apps, or
maybe for online software activation the way Microsoft (and now others)
do...?

Can anyone point me to where I could find more information on these
issues?

There are literally hundreds of examples on the net - just Google...

Writing a webservice really is very simple these days with Visual
Studio.NET - it pretty much isolates the developer from all the SOAP stuff
(though it's still there, of course) - you pretty much just point and
click to add a webservice to an existing site, fill in the code, compile,
test and deploy.
