Hi everyone,
I created a VB.NET application that looks at a folder
in my local system from which I can read the file, enter data into the
database and delete the file. I am using the filewatcher class.. However I
need to do the same with ASP.NET. I want this application to be running all
the time and I want the changes to be reflected on the ASP.NET page i.e the
graphs on the ASP.NET page reflect the data that is being entered in the
database from the files.

thank you

Hi Luis:

You can apply the same technique you currently use with the
FileSystemWatcher. What you'll have to do is have the web forms poll
from the client, perhaps by using a META tag to refresh every X
seconds.

it wont work if there are no clients...

plus the aspnet worker process gets recycled and what would happen to the
automated process then?? You really need to use a Windows Service... or not?

If you are configured to shutdown an idle process, yes that's true.

A service would always be running, but your clients will still need to
poll the web application.
