The C# (Visual Studio 2008) solution is here:
The application works. You will have to download the source code, re-import your service method and re-compile. I will work on the project when I have time to make it easier to implement, but it provides a good start towards a solution.
Since the Web Service and re-compilation made it more difficult, I thought I could simplify by making a call to a Web Page instead and use the Page_Load event. I tried to use the WebClient object which worked from a Windows Form but would not work from a Windows Service, even with Administrative privledges. I ended up using some code from a site:
Stream str = null;
HttpWebRequest wReq = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://www.site.com/tick.aspx");
HttpWebResponse wRes = (HttpWebResponse)(wReq).GetResponse();
str = wRes.GetResponseStream();
HttpWebResponse wRes = (HttpWebResponse)(wReq).GetResponse();
str = wRes.GetResponseStream();
I was experiencing a error:
The operation has timed out
You must call either the Stream..::.Close or the HttpWebResponse..::.Close method to close the stream and release the connection for reuse. It is not necessary to call both Stream..::.Close and HttpWebResponse..::.Close, but doing so does not cause an error. Failure to close the stream will cause your application to run out of connections.
So, I added...
str.Close();
str = null;
wRes.Close();
wRes = null;
wRes.Close();
wRes = null;
wReq = null;
It works....

I zipped up the Source which can be found in this folder:

Nifty! Almost perfect :-) However, I've been struggling with it for most of the morning.
1. The config app won't run w/o Telerik controls installed (which I don't have at the moment)
2. So I manually modified the config xml file to point to my webservice, but I still get the event error:
**********
PingUrlError: System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server did not recognize the value of HTTP Header SOAPAction: http://Com.StockerWeb.WebService/Tock.
**********
I was going to try to rebuild the project to address these issues, but I can't figure out an easy way to simply download the source in one go - you need to copy and paste the code from an html page (from what I can tell).
Oh well...
Nice solution! How can we download the source code in one zipped file?
pete traversy was able to get the code working for his site. I have zipped the source for a single download and made a link from this page.
