web service

Hi
I got to create a system that automatically sends out an email when the server date is equal to a date field in an sql server database. The project I am working has been built using asp but I can't find a solution using classic asp. I'm relatively new to asp.net and thought maybe using a .net web service to provide this functionality. Can anyone advise me of a way to do this asp or asp.net and whether I was on the right track with the web service idea?

Thanks in advance.Hi,

You don't require a webservice for this. Instead you can create a console application using c# or vb.net which will be an exe that will run daily at a specified time and check if the server date is equal to that in the database and then send out a mail, if it is equal.

Once you are done with the logic, you can put it in task scheduler (type tasks form command prompt) for the same to run daily.

Hope it helps.

Web Service question

I have a web service using soap that works when I fill in the text boxes when I submit, but I want it to automatically submit when values are submitted via the request string, but it wont submit. How do I do this?What you are doing is just testing the WEB Service.
If you want to use all of the functions you have done; just add a WEB Reference to your WEB Service.
Right-Click your project and Select Add WEB Reference.
You can get your web page to accept the querystring parameters, which in turn submit to the SOAP web reqeust.

Now, if only you were working with REST... ;)

Web services and asp.net

Is it possible to have a web service that automatically every night at
midnight synches up a database on a client/server with a database on the web
server? The web server is hosted by another company. So I would need to
hook up to a database on the client machine from the web server.something will have to trigger it.
have a little EXE/BAT that runs in windows scheduler and calls it.
