Polling Webservice from Windows Service

Hi,

Apologies if this not quite the right forum, but I am looking for
ideas/method of polling a webservice with different parameter values at
different times, the schedule for polling the webservice is coming from a
database.

My initial idea is to run a windows service getting the schedule(s) from a
db but how do I keep track of possible multiple timer events on a daily
basis from within the windows service. Should I be using MSMQ or another
technology ?

Very grateful for any advice.

MSMQ would be over kill. I really dont see the problem here. Make a list of
tasks, each with "next time". Make a thread - sleep for 1 minute or whatever
granularity you want, check the list, execute, reupdate time...

I'm trying to use a Web Service to be a Remoting client of an existing ..NET 2.0 server. But I get the following error when I try to use System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels.Http in my WebService.

Problem: But now in actual deployment, we have deployed webservice in Win Server 2003 and we have used all the default configurations. Now the clients are accessing that service the same way...

Hi, I am trying to call a webservice from a windows service application. It works only if I launch the windows service app from VS.Net 2005 (Worked around from Main()) or from a winform test application. However, it generates a kind of security error after I install and start the service in my Window Server machine. I believe that it is related to authentication. The following is the sample code: HttpWebRequest obj =...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...
