Re: Looking For Code Sample and Request Feedback


I am not questioning if it is easy. I wanted feedback on what people thought of what I was talking about. I would prefer to use a Windows Service but a web service will do to.

Kelly,

Why do you want it so difficult while what you describe is a webservice.
