ASP.NET Help

[. .]

Hi

I am developing a web system using ASP.NET/VB.NET with SQL Server 2005
as back end database . I need to develop a aspx page where user can see
their messages after they log into the system .The User will only see
their own message .As soon as they are in this page the message will pop
up for them . If there is more than one message then They can tab up and
down . Some of the message a user can ignore and some they will have to
take action . There will be a reminder system for the messages . If the
user choose to be reminded about the message after two days for example
the system will do that . I need to know if I need to create a web
service for the this page or How Do I start the project .

Please Help

RE: ASP.NET Help

Wow that's a lot to ask... where specifically is your issue. Your best bet it
to try and then when you have a specific issue post the question...

Are you asking how to create a webservice?
Are you asking how to consume one?
Are you asking how to create a page to display the info?
etc?

No, but it is one way. Basically anything that reads the DB will be able to
retrieve the list of messages (I'm assuming they are in a DB).

Maybe I'm missing something? Are you trying to have the page "poll" this
service/page/etc and check for messages? If so you just need a periodic
"refresh" of the page. Now, if you are trying to "push" the messages from the
backend when they come in,etc, then you are really looking at the wrong
technology. You will need a component on the client most likely..

The answer to this depends upon what you mean by "remind." Since a web page
is by Request only, let's say that the user doesn't log on to the web site
in 2 days. Of course, you may remind them when they do log in, at some
future time. This would be relatively simple to accomplish, no web service
needed (in fact, I can't think of a single reason why a web service WOULD be
needed, as a web service is also by Request only).

However, if you want to Remind them whether or not they log in, say, in 2
days, you would need some other application to do this, perhaps a service.
It could email them a reminder after 2 days by, for example, querying the
database once a day to find out how many emails to send out to whom about
what.

Another alternative to a service would be to use SQL Server 2005's email
capabilities to set up a job that runs once a day on te SQL Server, and
sends out the appropriate emails.

Re: ASP.NET Help


Hi

Thanks for quick reply . By saying " Remind " I meant remionder of
messages . When a user gets his /her messages they can ignore it or
click OK button .They can also set a reminder system . For example he
/she can set a reminder for two days . The system will remind the user
after two days that she /he had a message two days back that needs
action taken .

Thanks

Re: ASP.NET Help

So, what's the question? Is it "How do I start the Project?" Again, that's a
pretty broad question, and could mean any of several things. For example, I
could answer "By defining exact requirements, identifying resources needed,
and architecting the structure of the application from top to bottom."
However, I get the feeling that you're asking for something more specific,
yet unspecified.

Re: ASP.NET Help

It would help if you quote the message you are replying to. I (and many
others) use Outlook Newsreader to read newsgroups, and hide read messages.
After a bit of work, I found the previous messages, and noted that I had
already told you that there is no reason to use a Web service. I also told
you that how you write this depends on what you mean by "remind." I gave you
several scenarios that handle different senses of reminding, and you replied
by saying essentially that "remind means reminder of messages." That is a
circular definition, like saying "this means this." In other words, you did
not clarify your meaning of the use of the word "remind." In any case, I
covered all the bases, AND gave you some suggestions as to what technology
to use for each possible interpretation of "remind." Let me quote myself if
I may:

Finally, be careful about that word "simple" when talking about ASP.Net
pages! ;-)
