>I think you misunderstood Morgan's comments. His main point is that it's not a good idea for a User Group's webpage to be hitting your WebService from their web page itself ... primarily because if your web server is down or slow, it will affect their webpage (it could time out or just flat out not work). He's simply saying that you shouldn't recommend that it be done this way and that you should recommend that they cache the info locally and have their webpage hit the local cache. How often it's cached from your WebService and how it's cached either via a service or a scheduled windows event, would be up to the User Group, but you might give some examples along that line too.

Yeah, I think Bonnie nailed it. I just think that it is bad form to recommend or show examples of something that is very bad practice. I'll even write the windows service, or an little console application that can run w/ a scheduled event and cache information. Let me know, and I'll write it. We can then get the XML, and then instead of getting the data each time, it will just read the XML that the little helper application has got.

How does that sound, Michel?
