Hi,

It seems that you don't understand how asynchronous calls work.
So, I offer to read the following articles from MSDN:

Hi Bill,

You may refer to following article to see if it will help:

I did get a couple of responses to this question, and they listed some
URLs that were very helpfull in explaining how to make asynchronous
requests from an ASP.NET client.  In my case, however, the Web
Services Client will be an Internet Explorer (IE6) application making
Web Service request to an ASP.NET Web Service hosted under IIS.  IE
will be using the Webservice.htc client-side HTML component to make
the requests.

The articles listed the following methods to recieve the final request
completion:
1. Polling
2. Wait handles
3. Callbacks

I would like to know if anything other than #1 will work in this case.
I can not quite see how an ASP.NET Web Service can initiate a session
with IE to use #2 or #3. (Although it would be great if it could.)

Any ideas?
