i was thinking of a way to implement Instant Notifications using the
new messaging features of WSE 2.0. Idea is to send a packet async to a
winforms app on a client machine.
i think this would be possible setting up a TCP listener on Client
Machine Winforms Application.
soap.tcp://IPAddresss/SoapService
Question : "HOw do we find the IPAddress of the Client Machine" ??
And then sending a message from the SoapClient(which this time
ironically would be a web server )!
Question is - How do i find out the IP address of the Client.I was
conidering the possiblity of finding the IP address of the client
using WMI.
However the situation would be complex in the case of a machine behind
a proxy.
Is there any way of sending a message to a client asynchronously ?
Maybe we can find out the IP address of the Client machine from Soap
request?
Thanks in advance and if i made it very confusing - please ask me ..

As nobody replied - i thought i'd reformat the problem a bit to make
things clearer :-)

Idea is to send a message to a winforms app on a client machine from a
web service.
As a start i think this would be possible setting up a TCP listener on
Client Machine Winforms Application.
soap.tcp://IPADresss/SoapService
And then sending a message from the Web Service to this Listener.
Question is - How do i find out the IP address of the Client at the
first place ?

Question : Is there any other way of sending a message to a client
asynchronously using web services?
I'll try and put up a Version 3 of this question if it still isnt
clear
