how to implement a background process?

Ok, I want to implmement a "backgound process", but the catch is this:

I want to control it via a Web Service, that is to say, the Web Service will
be its API.

What type of application should I create? Windows App?

Also, how would the Web Service talk to the background process?

pokémon,
I'm assuming by 'background process' you mean something that continuously
runs working on something.

Have you considered a Windows Service, that the Web Service uses .NET
Remoting or MessageQueues to talk to it.

You can use can use System.ServiceP rocess.ServiceC ontroller to control a
Windows Service if you do not need to communicate a large number of
parameters. If you have lots of data/parameters to communicate then I would
consider using .NET Remoting or a System.Messagin g.MessageQueue to send this
info (to the Windows Service).

Hope this helps

Thanks, Jay,

I think Messaging Queuing might not be my choice, since I don't like the
asynch nature of it for this particular app.

Is configuring a web service as a remoting client the same as any other
remoting client, or are there other considerations?

Hi All, I am working on a mailing list program for a client, and I am wondering what tbe hest way to deal with script timeouts is.

These mailings go out to between 5000 and 10000 email addresses, so timeouts are a concern. It seems to me that the best thing to do...

Hi We are running a java process in the background on a aix 5.2, jdk1.31. The jvm core dumps on occasion and i would like to debug the issue.

Hi, I'm working on a web application in ASP.NET 3.5 and need some help with processing stuff in the background. The user who visits a web page can make reservations.
