tcox8 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 (edited) Hello all, First off, i'm kind of new, so go easy on me :-D My program description: Imagine a print queue in Windows. Any computer on the network can view the queue and have access to whats in that queue. Well I need to do basically the same thing with my program. I need to have a stand alone program that can send something to the queue and then will see it sitting in the queue along with all the other computers seeing whats in the queue. My thoughts so far: I have thought of using an excel spreadsheet located on a server to send the data too and then all the queues receiving it, but can't think of a way that won't kill the network and CPU's by constantly reading that file. I have also looked into using the system.messaging.messagequeue object but can't get it to work ( a little over my head). Any thoughts, ideas, comments? I appreciate it!!!!!

tcox8 Posted August 20, 2010 Author Share Posted August 20, 2010 hmm, I was thinking.. What if I had a daughter application on all the computers, and a mother application on the server. Then when a daughter application sends data (via filemove or some other means) to the mother application, then the mother application will send that data to all of the daughter applications. Thus acting like a queue. Still I wonder if this would eat network resources...?
