I have only ever done one web service before. all it did was acept a userID and return a comma seperated list of the Active Directory Groups it belong to.
IE I sent a string and returned a string and I did it all in one function.
Now however I want to do the following,
1) public function to start a third party console app in charge of loading a crap ton of data.
2) return a dataset of the contents of the "progress" table from the database the app is loading.
I don't want to have to wait on the third party app to finish in order to return a "sucess" value to the user for task one. The reason I don't want to wait because the console app will be processing about 40 flat files and it takes nearly two hours to complete. That is why it posts "progress" reports to a sql 2005 database table.
Any one know how I'd do this?
