I have limitations to host Windows Services in my web hosting provider. But i need run small task frequently.
Do we have any other framework/api which provides similar infrastructure like "Windows Services" from ASP.NET?
I'm working on an ASP.NET MVC web application that will be deployed across multiple load-balanced servers. With this setup, a user might have one request served by server A and the next request will be served by ServerB or ServerC. We don't want to store Session Data in the database, as we're trying to minimise database hits where ever possible. As such, we need to have the HttpSession managed and stored on another server. My understanding is that this is possible by using a Windows Service that will manage this for me, but I'm unfamiliar with how to implement this. Can somebody point me at some good documentation on how to do this? Or any pitfalls or other points to take into consideration?

I am having a ASP.net web application which is hosted in an internet server. Now i got a requirement to integrate this website with a computer telephony infrastructure. The details are as follows.
The user will be located in a building having TAPI standard, LAN - CTE infrastructure enabled telephone system and the logged-in user should be able to connect to the phone line (extension no:) within the same building through the browser. When a call comes to that phone line, a popup should appear in the users browser displaying the number of the caller. I am having the following doubts in implementation of this functionality
How should I connect (communicate) my application with this LAN - CTE infrastructure? The LAN - CTE infrastructre is simply an API having no web services exposed from their side for this purpose. So think I will have to write an extra wrapper class just above the LAN - CTE infrastructure to facilitate this.
Do I really need to connect to the telephone line across the internet as this logged user and the extension no: will be in the same local network?
I dont have a lot of background with SSL and X509 configuration and support with my Asp.Net application, so I was wondering if someone can explain or point me in the right direction to MSDN or any other article or posting explaining if it's possible to do what I am looking to support in my environment.
I have IIS 6.0 with SSL (Verisign cert) as well as "Require client certificates" working against a local installation of Microsoft Certificate Services, https://<domain>/certsrv, where users can request and install client certs (both xp clients for basic
mode, and Vista/7 for advance mode).
Here's what I am up against:
I have a segment of users coming from a virtualized server environment where this environment does not store personal settings for more than 48 hours. It's not an internet cafe, but rather an actual business where their IT staff uses server images to reimage each virtual server in the farm every 48hrs. Thus losing all users data in the "Current Users" Certificate Stores.
The IT staff give users a network folder share to store any personal items (docs, spreadsheets, links, etc.). The servers consist of Windows Server 2003, and will be migrating to Windows Server 2008 in the next 6-9 months.
These users have rights in Internet Explorer to navigate to my certsrv site and use activex to to request and install certificates then clode and reopen the broser to navigate and render the asp.net app.
Problem:
It's a pain to ask the users to request and have issued a client certificate every 48 hours.
The IT staff of this company has asked if I can create some sort of certificate that they can load in the "local computer" certificate store, NOT the "Current User" store, that will be made part of their base image for all their servers, and that this certificate is then used to properly authenticate all users on these servers to my IIS with "require client certificates" selected.
Question:
Is this possible, and if so what can I do on my side to create the proper certificate to give to the IT staff at this business to put into their servers "local computer" certificate store? I assume either under the Personal->Certificates store, or under the "Trusted Root Certification Authorities"->Certificates store. Thus allowing any user of these servers in their thin client virtual environment to open I.E., navigate to my site and select a certificate from the "Choose a digital certificate" popup that allows them to render my Asp.Net application, or avoids this popup altogether.
If this is the wrong forum to post in, please advise and I will move. Probably due to vernacular on my part, I have been unable to find any resources on here, MSDN or Bing to help me solve this problem.
I have a web application - .net 4. The client is having a requirement that he want to send email to his users on a regular basis about his new courses etc.
The webapplication created will hosted on a "Shared hosting environment" with no excess to windows services - file system other than the web root folder through FTP.
Due to shared hosting i cannot create a windows service for him which will check the database - if there are any scheduled mail to send every 5 min.
So my question is - Is there anyway i can run a wcf web service or any other web based service or page or handler which can keep running and automatically checks the database for any new scheduled mails - if yes start sending it automatically in an different thread.

I have one webserver alone in the network and all the users authenticate in another server. I'm trying to implement windows authentication in a application in the webserver, but every time that the page loads a login window appears exactly that the windows client was authenticated in the order server. Is It necessary both server stay in the same domain? Is there another way? Finally, I need to get the user id in the windows client, but webserver and domain server don't communicated between itself.

View 2 RepliesWhat is the best way to implement a open/cross platform web service API to an existing .NET App? Not being a strictly .NET friendly API. It already has ASP.NET exposed web services, but need to be built into an generic API allowing inserts, updates and deletes and returning results based on user criteria in standard SOAP, JSON or other common formats, similar to Google's Data API's. Are there any frameworks designed for this or is it a build it from scratch project implementing each format/protocol manually?

View 1 RepliesI want to implement a restful service in ASP.NET. I want it to be compatible with .Net 2.0 and IIS 5+. I am constrained to not use ASP.NET MVC or REST starter kit. By reading on internet I have learned that it can be implemented using HTTPHandlers. The problem is, the request will come in as a POST request. And I want to URL to be like:
http://abc.com/MyService/MyMethod1/
and
http://abc.com/MyService/MyMethod2/
Our solutions requires validating users against a custom database. This also includes roles which dictates what he user can do in the system. What is the best way to implement implement security, is it to use Windows Identity Foundation or the default Membership Provider and Role Provider that comes with .net?
View 2 RepliesI am currently working on a project that is very new to me, and I feel a bit over my head as far as knowledge base is concerned. My request is for references and information to help me expand my knowledge base, as well as recommendations for technologies and methods.I have experience primarily with Java, so all this Windows service stuff is new to me. I am not really asking for a how-to
The project is as follows: I am to develop an application in ASP.NET that runs as a process from start-up to shutdown. It will be checking some things in a folder, encrypting some files from that folder, and then check if internet connectivity is available. If it is available, it will be sending those files to a server (via a web service on that server, I believe). If it is not available, it will check every 'insert time interval here' to see if connectivity has become available, at which time it will send the files. Once the files are received by the service, the application will need to recieve some kind of confirmation from the server that the file associated with 'xxxxxxxxxxxxx' uniqueidentifier has been received.
Any explanation of the way that web services work or how to implement file encryption in a desktop app (resource load optimization is a very substantial requirement of this app).

what is the best and easiest way to test a windows service while developing it?
We have two servers, both are containing a local application connecting to local web service, applications and services are identical on both servers. One of the servers work just fine, The other one is just dead, I have impression the the security configuration are different on those servers. What prevents an application X from connecting a web-service, given that another application y on the same server can connect to it. and X is a windows service. What I should check, what is chances?
