Q: 

Web Service Vs Normal asp.net page for XML Http Requests

Hi guys,

i have to use XMLhttpRequest to send the message that one user posted in another memebers profile without postback and for that i usually make a ASP.net webpage that is called by the XML http and does the server side work.

So i want to know if there is any differnce between using a regualr ASP.net page and a web service in this case. does it carry any advantages or not. or is web services used for some other purposes

thanks in advance
