when one of the application modify database, i want automatic notification to other application so i refresh the dataset programetically.I dont want to refresh my dataset at predefined time interval.

pls help me ASAP.

Bhavesh

In the end, ASP.net is nothing but regular HTML, so you'll have to refresh something in order to get updates. I don't know the complete answer to the VB.net application, however I do know one thing. If you are using a web service for your data provider for both of these applications, remember that a web service is nothing more than essentially a web page. It's just HTTP so it will behave no different than the ASP.net application with regards to update notification. You'll still need to check periodically for new data.
