aspx_professional thread: Sending Database Update Notification for all users...

Greeta,

	Since HTTP is a stateless protocol, there is no built-in way to do
this.  You would have to either write a page that continuously refreshes
itself and polls for changes (yuck!) or write your own custom application
that listens for incoming messages from a specific server broadcasting these
messages (which would reside on your ASP.NET server and you could trigger as
necessary, but would require your users to download and install your binary
custom application that processes these messages).  If you are using SQL
Server 7.0+, you could use the xp_cmdshell stored procedure to fire a
command that causes your broadcast server to send messages to all users who
are running your custom application.

all users...


Hi,
	 I am wondering if there is any way in asp.net to notify the users
with the 
any change activity in database. For example say suppose any user add 
anything to database. All users should get notified.

(Note: I want in same way as we get notified with small window saying "you 
have got email from...." when we receive a new e-mail in msn-messenger)

Thanks,
Geeta
