Thanks to all who responded to the question. As always, I'm being made to jump around different projects, so I may get back to some of you in the near future.

I agree with Symeon and I write web services all the time. Nay-sayers can say what they will, it's fast and it works. Thanks to our client, Scott, for the nod. He had been down this route, went through standard U2 resources, found lots of problems, and then I created a solution for him with ASP.NET Web Services - and he got full source when the project was complete. Note that while most web services take just a few minutes, the services I wrote for Scott's company took about 10 hours in documentation, code, and testing, because very detailed settings were required to conform to an existing environment. Anyone writing their own services won't have to deal with such issues. Take a look at a video I have on our web site. It shows two ways to create web services in 20 minutes, and it would take less time if I wasn't explaining it. See remove.thisNebula-RnD.com/products/gallery.htm. I used mv.NET because it's a Swiss Army knife for a ton of projects [ad], but as Symeon said, you can easily use UO.NET too. Follow the concept, don't worry about the connectivity product. You can do this for Free and within Minutes! Also, search PickWiki.com for "web services" and you'll find some solutions there. (Side note: we're porting PickWiki.com into MediaWiki soon. See home page for info.) Finally, here's another video, (1min40sec) of someone who evaluated U2 Web Services and decided to do something else: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=276F-xKqflQ If you need any help, let me know. Our business is based on doing the things that others find too tough.
