[ArcVieh]

Hi guys,<BR><BR>Here's the problem...<BR><BR>I have to create a custom visual sourcesafe... so that it's cross-platform and internet enabled...<BR><BR>Now to keep the cross-platform-ness, i am using java client...<BR><BR>I would have to do ole automation for vss on the server...<BR><BR>Now the question i'm asking is: is it possible to create a server using ASP.NET so that not only does it provide automation but also communicate with the client using XML?<BR><BR>If so how do i proceed?? Should i create a webservice, a web application or com component or what??<BR><BR>Thanks...<BR>
