VS2008 Console App

[Brian]

I need to rewrite some old DOS applications that look for files at a
table driven defined site (UNC), downloads the files, UNZIp's them,
processes and prints the results.

Question is : Can I even do this with a Console application? This
will ultimately be running as a SQL Server agent, with no UI.

RE: VS2008 Console App

I don't know anything about SQL Server Agents, but System.Net.WebC lient will
let you get the data from the net. SharpZipLib is a set of utility libraries
to extract zipped data. Pulling these concepts together in a console app
will work fine.
