If you want to schedule ASP.NET tasks, one solution is to use a Web service to provide an interface to your ASP.NET application and build a Windows service that calls to it at scheduled intervals. Thus the ASP.NET application doesn't have to own the scheduling logic. Here the author shows how to schedule your ASP.NET tasks using a Windows service to initiate the Web service call because Windows services can start themselves when Windows boots up.

This article explains the basic techniques and VS.Net project structure for creatign and implementing a simple C# FileSystemWatcher Windows Service

Web Service Software Factory: Modeling Edition is a collection of resources for modeling and building Web services for Windows Communication Foundation and ASMX.

Web Service Software Factory is designed to help you build Web service solutions that follow known architecture and design patterns, as Aaron Skonnard explains here.

This month Aaron Skonnard continues his exploration of software factories with a look at the Web Service Software Factory for Windows Communication Foundation.

Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) enables disconnected work between clients and services. The client posts messages to a queue and the service processes them later. Such interaction permits a different programming model from the default request/response pattern, enabling possibilities such as load leveling, improved availability, and compensating work, to name just a few. This column starts with a brief introduction to Windows Communication Foundation queued calls and then presents an interesting problem-how to get results out of a queued call-and the solution via some cool Windows Communication Foundation programming techniques and a few helper classes.

In this article we want to add a simple extension to the project seen in the CodeProject article "A GPS tracer application for Windows Mobile CE 5". We want to create a Web Service which can be invoked by the mobile application to store, on a remote SQL2005 Data Base, the path followed by different GPS devices. The easiest and fastest way to achieve this result is represented by the Web Service Software Factory (next WSSF for short). This strategy is, at the same time, the best way to build higher quality service using well known pattern and practices...

In this article, Niels Flensted-Jensen demonstrates how you can combine new and existing Microsoft technologies with minimal new code to provide flexible authorization for individual Web service methods. Windows 2003 Authorization Manager, Web Service Enhancements 3.0, and Enterprise Library all play a part.

If you're using Windows, you're no stranger to Windows services, but do you know how to write one of your own? In this article, you'll learn not only how to build your own Windows service, but how to build a client with which to control it.

A remote task is a piece of code that executes on the server in response to a client event. There are three possible ways for an ASP.NET AJAX client page to trigger a remote task: by causing a postback managed by an UpdatePanel control, by invoking a method directly on the application’s back end exposed through a local Web service, and by using a page method. Soon there will be a fourth method: a Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) service..
