Need ideas to create client/web server application in VB.NET
Dear Microsoft developers,
I'm planning to create an application in VB.NET which would work
interactively with a web server (Brinkster.com by instance supporting
the .NET Framework) -- as I'm barely new to .NET but experimented with
VB 6, I would like to know which method would be the best :
_Use .NET remoting technology
_Use TCPListener command
( http://www.*-*-*.com/ )
_Use Web services technology
_... (any you would know which could be compatible)
I think the 2 first methods need a dedicated server where I could run
the console-based server application. The third would be ok as
Brinkster.com supports Web services upload (I assume it does)
Basically, the Windows application would communicate (upload/download)
with the server from time to time (each 10 sec by instance to retrieve
new data) to retrieve text or XML information.
Thanks a lot, Al
