>Basically, our WS provides several sets of methods categorized in messages, VFP Zone, .NET Zone and User groups. As we dropped the offline reader a few years ago, it was not our assumption that someone would built an offline interface from it to avoid using the online interface. Its main reason is that it is focused on a really small market and its maintenance is extremely expensive as per the evolution of the online interface.

>>I'm not trying to take away from you at all. I was actually planning after I got it to some level of stablity to make it available to all the PUTM members, and I was planning to give out the source code as well.

>Yes, I understand you have good intentions. However, the conditions of use of this site says that a member who benefit of the WS, for example, can't forward the collected data to someone else. The collected data is to be used by the same individual and that's it. I'd have preferred you'd have asked me instead to receive that schema. I recall some of such requests recently. Not sure if it was from you but I'd have given the schema for your own tests.

I'm sorry, I should have just asked you. I didn't think a schema was a big deal. But I should have asked you for an example.

>>That way you could offer a whole another application to your PUTM members, FREE without any work. I was even going to send you the source code, so you could modify it or just throw it away or give it to other members so they could add to it. So I was actually trying to add to the community. Because in the end, unless I purchase a membership, I won't even be able to use the application that I'm writing.

>Our offline reader already have 95% of all that ready. It's just that we dropped its support and maintenance since a while now. Basically, we'd just have to change the data engine to query a WS instead of using a socket and such. Like I said, we don't want to have to support something else. We also don't want to tell someone to adjust such an interface everytime we will enhance the Web interface. This is why we only designed the WS to respond to specific content and that's it.

I really think you are missing the point. I'm not trying to develop an offline reader. I wanted to write an application to improve my skills, and I thought I would add to the community and help out by writing this. I mean I had planned to put the code out, which would be very helpful to newbie's in .NET. It the Web interface changes then what would be my problem or anyone who is using it.

I don't plan for you to keep me informed if the WebServices Interface changes, I would doing this for fun. And perhaps some of your members might get some use out of it. And you could develop a whole grow of developers who could add to your site and make the community better for you. With out cost to you. I mean, if you put this application out there, it might increase the amount of posts out there.

Well, it doesn't matter to me anymore. I think I will put a link to a compiled version in the next few days, and we will see if there are anyone out there who is interested in using my application.
