I have a client that wants a small application that will allow the user to setup web reference calls in an application that will replace a LOT of Windows Scheduler executed apps. So what I need to do is to create a UI for the user and let them hook up web service calls. So all I really need to do is to create an application where I can setup a UI where the user can connect to new web services and execute them... Without having to recompile the application with a new web references.
I think the idea the client has is to set up something like the windows scheduler to automate when reports will be ran. I want to create a UI where they can manage when the reports will be ran, what exe or Web Service to call, etc. The UI is just a way to configure an XML document that a Windows Service will use to execute the applications. The Windows Service application is what will be executing the Web Service calls. This is intended to replace the Windows Scheduler and allow the user to work with a UI to set these up. The Windows Service app will just spin through an XML document and identify the apps to call and at what time. If anyone has any other ideas on how to approach this, I would like to hear your suggestions. Has anyone else replaced windows scheduler applications with web services? Any other options? If anyone can give me some ideas or a sample of how to do this, I would really appreciate it. I think I am running out of ideas on how to get this to work. It looks like my only option is to create a class library and manually add each new web reference, recompile and redeploy. I think there should be a way to set up the web service calls at runtime. Any ideas? Does .Net support adding web references at runtime?
