Hi
I am new to this forum and i dont know my question fits in this.
I need to work on a web application which can be accessed from a mobile application and from a client PC. I will elaborate.
User can access my web site from a PC and make some selections and gets the results in a web page. User can also download a file from the site.This web application is already done.
Now the client came with a new requirement. They want to access the downloadable file from an application running in a mobile phone.
The idea is , an application in a mobile will send info to the web server and the web server should send the response. They dont want to browse the web page in mobile. They only wants the data.
How can i design such a thing from my pre existing web application.
Pls give your suggestions

Hi
Thanks for the reply.
If i create a web service , can i distinguish the httprequest from a mobile and from a web browser in pc from a web service. If the request is from a PC i need to show a web page and if it is from a mobile application i need to transfer only a file. Can i do something like that,
I have one more thing in mind. Please tell if its ok. Create a Httprequest handler and differentiate the request whether it is from a PC or mobile. If it is from a PC i will redirect it to a url of my existing web application. If it is from my mobile i will redirect it to a web service as you said. Is it a good one? Please suggest a good method coz i dont know so much about handlers and webservices.

Can you change your application on mobile PC?
You probably have to create a Web Service on the server and call it from the client's mobile PC.
