Newbie: Question about communication over the internet

[Bart]

Hi all,

First of all I am complete new to C# and .net but I learning.

I like to know if it is possible to create an application which can
communicate over the internet with another application. What I mean is
this. Suppose I and a friend are connected to the internet. I like to give
my friend a slide show of my pictures. So both of us are running the
application and he should be able to see the pictures I am sending to him in
some sort of slide show. Is this possible ?

Can someone give me some hints where to start. Any ideas are greatly
appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Bart Janisse

Bart,

Just search on Google in this newsgroup you find tons of samples.
This is a topic thousand times done and therefore not so interesting for
those who real know it to help with.

A "web-service" is a set of functions that one of your computers makes
available to the other computer over the web. That is, opne computer is the
servcer, the other the client.
The nice thing about making web-services using c# and Visual Studio is that
all the low-level communication stuff is done for you by .net and Visual
Studio's "wizards".
