Subscription Services

[Steve Arndt]

Can someone point me to sample code for building subscription services
(where someone pays either up front for a number of uses, or per use) in
vb.net/asp.net? I want to convert a client-based vb.net application that
doesn't have subscription services to a web-based service that does.

Thanks

Sounds to me like a job for a server side database. All you need to do
is use the standard ASP.Net authentication tools and then log/check
the user's history whenever he logs in. If their timelimit or number
of connections has expired, you can just log them out and redirect
them to the subscription page.

Thanks,
