Can I use a WebService Architecture to transfer large datasets ?

I have a question whose answer will help me save a lot of time in
investigation and implementation. Becuase we have a mix of platforms
(Windows/Unix etc) in our environment I would like to implement a web
service using XML/SOAP (assuming SOAP is also implemented in other languages
like Perl/Java etc) that returns a large dataset (20 or 30 or even 100 megs)
that the client can save to a file at his end for futher automated
processing. These datasets will be the result of custom querys that these
clients run on my database using the webservice.We are trying to automate
the process of genearation and transfer of custom files between various
enterprise databases. This needs to be web service becuse the client(s)
(that consume this web service) will be written as part of automated jobs
to pull thier files from our database every night. So this web service
needs to run like a custom ftp program between differnt platforms. Now for
small datasets web service is ok I think. But for large datasets my thought
was to implement this web service to generate a custom zipped file
containing the unique data required by each client that can be pulled over
by each client. Is this possible using SOAP/XML ? And is possible for
clients written in non MS languages to take advantage of this technology so
that I dont have to get into the business of writing a custom clients for
all my data customers?
Thoughts anyone?.

Thanks in advance

I'm using the AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies() method to obtain a list of currently loaded assemblies. This returns the expected assembly name and version values. However, if I make a webservice call and then call AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies() it returns an additional assembly name, with gibberish values such as "udmsmlb1", "janolvnq", etc. and always a version number "0.0.0.0".

Hello, I'm consuming webservice which returns a large dataset. - 1st step was a synchronous call. - 2nd step was making it asynchronous with this method (http://www.xamlon.com/kb/Article.aspx?id=10157) My problem is that the Callback is fired only at the end of the dataset transfer, and i have no way to know the progress of the transfer.

Hi, I don't know if this is a stupid question, but I observe that my webservice is created for each call to a webmethod. More precisely an instance of the webservice class is created for each call. This makes the InitializeComponent() method run for each method call and seems to really slow things down. Can I keep the webservice object running after a method call? Trygve

What is the best way to pass data to a web service. The client(to send data) has .net environment and also the server on which the web service is hosted also has the .net environment. Should I send dataset or an xml which will be created at the client and parsed at the server, in the web service. Which will have a better performance. Thanks,

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
