Allow web users to get a report on the status of my web service
-
Hi there, I'm writing a web service that's supposed to monitor client out there, using web clients. I'd like to allow a user to read a status report using a web browser. The naive solution i had thought of was having an <index.html> file, and updating it when needed. The problem is, updates may need to be made very often. Another problem may be that the web service might not have privileges to change the file, since it will be held by the iis, while serving it to the user. Any good ideas or tips? Thanks in advance, Summer Bulb

A webservice does not have a file to change. It should provide access to services, such as, setting or retrieving data. I'm not very clear on what you are attempting to do or what you want to accomplish.

The idea is as follows: Multiple clients will be pinging the web service to indicate activity. The web service will store the ping information. I would like to be able to display that information to a user useing his web browser (with a html file or something like that). Am i clear now?

Assuming your web service consists of one or more asmx files, all it would take IMO is one or more aspx pages that present the required information. Mind you, I haven't tried this, however I don't expect there to be any problem. You could use a database (or a static class) to hold the shared information. :)

Ok, create an aspx page that reads the data and displays it, you know, basic ASP.NET. :rolleyes: If you are thinking you can use the web service to display the page then you don't understand what a webservice is or how to use it.
