Thank you VERY much for the enlighting suggestions. They
help *a lot* to understand how things work.
From what I get it's seems that it is not possible to build
a general solution which the user can configure as he
likes, as it is possible for Email notification.
The solution by Vhdl and the second one by Michel is similar
to what I initially found on the web. Especially the com way it's not
so simple to implement and requires a phone attached to com port,
which is hardly proposable to a client.
The first one suggested by Michel would seem the only workable way.
Actually, I am a little disappointed that things are like that
and there isn't an easy way that allows configuration from the user's
part.
....mmm ...
actually my main concern is the creation of a general SMS facility
which
the user can configure, possibly using his own SMS provider. Perhaps
I could give the possibility to the User to enter the (VB.net) code
(provided by
his provider) within a text box and define some meta tags (<BodyText>,
<Date>,
.... etc) to substitute at send time Body message and other variables.
Then I could compile it on the fly. At that point the web references
could be parameters of the onfly compilation, clearly set up by user in
the
program configuration.
This would probably be a solution quite general. The inconvenient is
that
it would not be very comfortable to setup for the average user
(actually it could be a task
done at install time)
