Web Service to work with Pocket PC

[Developer Saksham]

I have to develop a web service in VB.Net to send the message to concerned user's pocket pc whenever there is any update against the name of the user in database.

Web services are not really good for notifications since they run from a web server and usually rely upon someone/something making a request. If your PDA application can poll the web service URL on a regular basis to see if there is an update available for the user in question, that would work, but if you want proper notifications, you probably need a separate system that will send email, or SMS messages which can then be processed on the PDA or at least used as an alert to tell the PDA to check the web service for updates. -Matt
