I've been trying to figure out which is better to use to monitor or accept parameter from vb6 app.my colleague keep on insisting to use web service which i think is not better because were not even using web for the system we're developing. thank you in advance...

Webserives are not only meant for web applications, it’s a service and can be subscribed from any type of application. Can you explain what do you mean by monitor or accept parameter from vb6.

Depends - what kind of interaction do you want with your VB app? I would not recommend Windows services - it's a Bad Thing to have a Windows service interact with the user desktop, and I believe this is not even possible on Wista/7.

thank you for your response... i actually get the idea that web service can be subscribed from any type of application...but i wanna know if we should use web service in our application or just a window console or window service...co'z the reason my colleague don't want use to use console app is that it eats memory a lot which i doubt...about accepting a parameter from vb6 app...am trying to get the user request which is using a vb6 app, for example, the user request for a function "new account" the app which am developing in c# will get that parameter and check the database if the user can use that function base on the max allowed user per function.by the way, the c# app will be residing in the server and the vb6 app are on client side...thank you again
