dotnet xml: Hello!

[quoted text, click to view]

Do you mean a remote procedure call? This could be done with SOAP (for
wich .NET has good support) or XML-RPC.

Hi

Sorry to ask this kind of a question. Basically I will be creating a
program in .Net that can obtain instructions from other programs
written in any other language. The instructions will come to me in text
files that are created by the other programs. The text files will all
contain XML based instructions so that they are clear cut instructions.

What I am looking for is technical name for this kind of instruction
passing in XML. Also are there any programs that do this? Accepting
instructions in XML format.

I am fairly new in this area.

Thanks

by "receive instructions" do you mean that your app will perform a service
at the request of another application when that application requests it? If
so, you are creating a service. If you receive the instruction over port
80, it's a web service. If the format of the instruction follows a standard
header format (allowing the developer in the other language to use existing
tools) you will want to stick to the SOAP standard for the XML structure, at
which point in time, you are creating a SOAP service.

Does this help?
