Hi,
I am investigating how much work it would take to convert an existing
winform application to a web based application, but need to be pointed in
the correct direction.
We have an existing winform application that attaches to a socket server to
get periodic GPS location updates from CE devices. As these GPS reports
come in, we display the location, which is constantly changing, on a map
that sits on a windows form. How can a web based application receive these
updates? From my limited understanding of ASP, I don't believe it is
possible for "stateless" web page to have a client socket, which is always
open, to receive GPS reports from our server. How would I notify an ASP
application of potentially dozens of updates per minute, so that I can
despite the CE devices moving around on the map?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave
