Hi Mark,,

Thx for your answer! A follow-up question:

Doesn't the client need at least the .NET Framework installed for sax files
to work? (why are you calling asmx files sax files? :O)

Regards,

/Tommy

sax files are .NET web services. The easiest way to create them is to use
Visual Studio.NET, and you can write them in any of the .NET languages
(VB.NET, C#, managed C++ etc.) You don't _have_ to use VS.NET though. As
you point out they are just text files. You could if you wanted download
the free .NET Framework SDK, create the sax files in your favourite text
editor and compile them using the command line compiler in the SDK. You
will need a web server to run them on: IIS 5.0 or later. The beauty of
these services is that nothing needs to be installed on the client, you
simply point it at your web server and it works, which means that you make
additions to your dictionary on the server, all the clients automatically
have access to it
your server doesn't need to be on the Internet, you can just as easily host
it on your LAN if that makes sense for your scenario.
