[QUOTE="dvdfreak, post: 166943, member: 21313"] The advantage of using WCF is that communication can be quite a bit more efficient. Unfortunately, this will only work from another WCF client, a web service client would be slower again. But as you talk about ASP.NET obviously this would mean the transfer [u]will[/u] will be fast! :) And let's not forget that the data needs to be transferred from server to client anyway, even with a direct database access the data is transferred over the network, so it's not [u]that[/u] big a deal that it is serialized over XML. In the end, a good web interface is what will make it snappy. Getting the guide data as needed for example, while the user it navigating through the guide will be better than trying to get everything beforehand for example. Just my two cents :) I just wish that I had more free time to work on the scheduler service, it [i]is[/i] progressing but I'd like to get something into alpha or beta state so I could get some more real feedback on this.
