i am trying to figure out if web services are to be used as an alternative

to remote scripting. when i invoke a rpc to a web service can i not

refresh the page.



i know that remote scripting uses a java applet to maintain the client

side page, while the functionality is executed on the server, in an asp

page. what do i have to do to emulate this with a web service.



asp+ does a good job of maintaining page state, but it still requires

round trips to the server and refreshes your page when you call a method

from a remote dll. i know you have to create a stub/ proxy to refer to a

web service, but does that allow you to programaticly access remote

methods, return the results in a soap message, and use it on the client?



any clarity here would help, thanks in advance.

Chris,



The beauty in ASP+ is that we can create and share a myriad of tags that IE

and Netscape never came up with -- and it gets rendered into straight

browser consumable HTML.



Unfortunately, that means there is no "magic" that is can perform on the

client-side. It's the same-ole HTML/DHTML/JScript that we had before.



If you don't want the client to be refreshed, you're still going to have to

stick with Applets/ActiveX/Flash.
