Webservice and Communication

  1. Hi,

    I am new to .net Programming.
    I have a task, where I am not sure what should be approach to the solution.

    I have two systems, one is the webserver serving images and the second is the client system, displaying the images by consuming the webservice.

    On power-on of the client, it requests webserver for images and displays the image. I was able to implement till here.

    Now if the image changes on the webserver, the client should be informed, and the client should update its image.
    How can I achieve this? Can someone please enlighten me?

    Thank you!
     
  2. When you say the client must be informed, what do you mean? Are you expecting the web server to be able to connect to clients to notify of changes at the server? What application type is at the client side - traditional web application in a browser? Silverlight application? Thick client (winform / wpf) application?

    There are ways to achieve this behaviour but there are too many unanswered questions at the moment for me to able to make a decent suggestion.
