It is working on Pocket PCs, very simple...!

As I posted some weeks ago I am using DHTML and Javascript to display values I get from a webservice on my html page. The new thing is that I can do this with the Pocket PC device without changing the code. Thanks Microsoft for the nice ActiveXObject "Microsoft.XMLHTTP" that is installed on Windows clients (I think it will be installed with IE4 or IE5) and on Pocket PCs.

ASPNET account and network access

After the installation of the .NET Framework you will find the ASPNET account on the local computer. If you start a ASP.NET web application this account will be used by the ASP.NET worker process (aspnet_wp.exe). For security reason the user has only some privileges, of course, no network access.

Using a WebService with DHTML and Javascript

I have been asked several times how to use a WebService in a DHTML application on the internet using Scripting. Ok, I have created a small sample using Javascript and Microsoft.XMLDOM ActiveX objects (you have to use Internet Explorer 5 or higher).
