Updating web service

[davearia]

Hi,

 

I have just wrote some web services which we are using currently at my place of work.

 

I have just put a MSI together that will install this service to a machine and tested it on a machine in the office and it works well.

 

My boss is going on a business visit to one of our plants in the middle east and will be installing this web service via the MSI.

 

As this will be running on a machine that we have no access to, the way of updating this service is by emailing MSI's to this plant which is not a problem.

 

I thought it was possible top update web services by uploading them to a URL and the remote web service would then download the new web service automatically.

 

Have I dreamt this or is this possible?

 

Any advice/links please :D

 

Many thanks, Dave.

You may be refering to Microsoft "ClickOnce" technology, which his available with VS 2005 / .NET 2.0 or higher:

I have never used this technology on Webservices though (usually just for Regular Windows Applications).
