Go to the MIME headers in the IIS Manager of the website and add .exe files to be downloaded. This should do the trick

Hi all, Just have a interesting question (I personal think). I want to use a webservice as a simple message system. The webservice has a method that returns a string (the message). The data is stored in an xml file and will act as a kind of database (DataSet). There won't be al lot of messages in the dataset, but clients (think a couple of thousand) will do a request to the webservice every 30 min each. What about the architecture? There are two ideas I have: 1) Simple, but effective???: Create a webmethod, for each request read the dataset from file and find out if there are messages. 2) Advanced, but more effective?? Put the DataSet in the internal memory of the webserver and re-fill the dataset if the xml datafile changes (with a fileSystemWatcher). It makes clear that the first idea creates allot of I/O. What do you all think? What is the best method. And how can i make idea 2 to work? How do i put the dataset into the internal memory? Is there a method like init() or destroy() with webservices (like java servlets these methods are being used if the servlet starts up and shuts down) Like to hear your idea's!! With kind regards, Joost (the Netherlands)

I have had the same experience creating users from a kix script. After creating the user and sets its groups, do a synchronize domain command.

Thanx Heath, What you mention helped me allot. Still figuring out the stuff, though. I have the system working now, but I’m certainly that it is al real quick and dirty solution. Do you have a clear example how you work? Thanx in advanced

Hi all, I'm kind of a newby in webservices so I think this will be a simple question for you all. I want to create an object on de webservice side (server) and return it to the application (client). The object on the client side must have the methods of the original object. The code on the client side: [webmethod] public car createCar (string licenceplate) { car car = new car(licencePlate); return car; } method in object class file (car.cs) public string getLicencePlate { return this.licencePlate; } on the client side i want to ask the object its licenceplate. So: car.getLicencePlate(); But i can't see the methods. I only get the public attributes (and i don't want those) Does anyone have a clear sample of returning Custom Type objects with WebServices or maybe give me a lesson in Serializable. Ow.. I forgot... the client side is reacting asyn. I hope someone can help me. Kind regards, Joost Voskuil The Netherlands.

Hi there, I'm looking for the best way to send log files over the Internet. These logfiles contain EventViewer lists and Backup logs. On the Client Side I want to build an application getting this data and putting it into a XML File. On the Server Side I want to "read" the XML file and put it into a Database. These logs are comming from Customers, so the only way to communicate is through the Internet. What do you all think it's a good solution for this problem? How must i get these log files from the client side to the server side (our Main Office) E-mail, .XML Webservices, .NET remoting. I'm new to .NET so I need some help to decide witch architecture is the best. Of course I don't want to change the fysicall Network Infrastructure of the customers. Anyone an Idea? Thanx in Advance, Joost, the Netherlands
