Thanks for the reply. It's a windows service, not a web service, but no, I get no errors whatsoever. The page runs through without errors and the event logs for my service just show that it's waiting for clients to connect and no clients ever connect. It's all on the same machine. Is there something I have to tell IIS that this is an application instead of a normal virtual directory?

I have an ASP.NET web app that communicates through named pipes to a windows service that I created. It works just fine on my workstation, but when I set it up on the server (install service, copy asp.net project and setup the virtual directory) it doesn't work anymore. I can see the web page just fine, but it doesn't communicate with my service and I cannot figure out why. I've been trying to figure this out for a while and it's driving me crazy. Any help is greatly, greatly, greatly appreciated. EDIT: workstation = IIS V5.1, Windows XP Pro SP2 server = IIS V6.0, Windows Server 2003 SP1

I'm new to ASP.NET, so this I'm sure is a simple question. I'm trying to keep the user posted as to what the code is doing as my code runs. Something like'Some code here 'Show user what is going on Span2.InnerHtml = "Still working...please hold" 'Some more code that takes a while 'Show user what is going on Span2.InnerHtml = "Finally finshed, thanks for waiting"This code I have now doesn't work right. You don't see the the first one. All you ever see is the "Finally finshed, thanks for waiting". It's like it doesn't update or refresh the text displayed to the user till the sub (button click event) is completely done running.

I ended up writing a windows service and a windows application for testing purposes and got it working just fine. But when I tried it from the same windows service & an asp.net page, it won't work. It never finds the pipe listening on the server. I've tried countless permissions and path changes thinking it's one of those, but none will work. What would cause the difference moving from a windows app to a asp.net page? (I'm new to asp.net)

It's a service that I'm in the middle of writing. Can a web service have complete permissions to the local box (drives, printers, etc.)? I assumed it could not, which is why I went with a windows service. If a web service can, and it's easier, than maybe I should go with that instead.

Is there anyway to send a variable to a Windows Service that is running on the same server as my ASP.NET page?
