Listening for events

Question

Hi guys, i wish to PUSH an XML File from a windows PC to the iPad, how and what should i do so that the app can "listen" for events like that.

See the Local and Push Notification Programming Guide.

You can only use push notifications to play alerts, display a message, or badge the application icon.

Anything more, and you have to take the client/server approach where the the apps must be running on both ends. A mix is usually best. Push a notification of something, which in turn can fire up the client, which in turn can download the latest chunk if structured information in XML (or whatever) form.
