Hi all,

I really need a huge help. If you have ever used an sms portal before (I particularly like the one at smslive247 and routesms you may need to register first). The idea is that users should be able to say "ok I want to send a message on 12/May/2012 by 3:00pm" by entering the necessary data and close the site while the job runs in the background.

I have looked through the net but what I see is bogus examples which tend to make nonsense of my already novice knowledge in programming.

I would prefer a vb.net step by step example

Thanks in advance.

This is two applications, not one.

The first is your web front end that manages the SMS jobs. New jobs, and their edits and deletes, would be sent to a SQL database.

The second app is a windows service that runs seperately and watches the database for jobs and doe sthe actual work of sending the SMS jobs end removing them from the jobs table once complete, or whatever your requirements are.
