Q: web services

Hello,

I have an asp.net application developed by someone else and it seems it
interacts with database through web services. What is the benefit of this?
Any idea?
Thanks,

If the database is on another domain, and is not a database server such as
SQL Server, MySql, or Oracle, or does not have a public IP address, or is
otherwise not available directly, that would be a good reason to do this. If
the database is on the same domain, or is a database server with a public IP
address, this would be a bad idea.

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for the reply. The asp.net application is on a web server for
internet users. Web server is a DMZ machine as far as I heard which is a
different domain then the SQL Server database in the domain. In this case,
can I go without web services? Can I make connection from DMZ to SQL Server
without web services, or I have to use web services?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Jim,

SQL Server databases are usually connected to using TCP/IP, and have an IP
address (of the machine on which they reside) and port number (usually
1433). So, if the SQL Server can be accessed from the other domain (usually
this means that it has a public IP address), there is no need for a web
service. Otherwise, there is a need for some kind of service to connect to
it.

I noticed there is some .net services on my winxp. One or two mention the CLR. Does that mean that my .net apps/services wont run before those services start? I need to run my service as early on as possible, it doesnt even need to be a service if there is a way to run .net apps before that, anyone knows what or where?
