web service to client question

[R.A.]

Hi,

I have a web service that process a client call. When a client makes a call
to the web method the method needs to query some data from a client_A and
return the data to the calling client_B. How should I design the way the web
service will call client_A to retreive the data needed for client_B?
I am using .net 1.1 and c#
Thanks

You can't call a client from the server. You have to wait for the client to
call you (send a Request) before you can do anything.

Do you mean database data? Then client_A is really acting as a server.
