I am back to the job market next month. I am looking for an asp.net developer job. my current job does not use web service at all. last time, I am using it was 6,7 yrs ago.
If I need to pick it up, where to start. I searched on amazon.com, those .net web service books are really old, they were written in 2002. Does that mean web service is outdated, no one using it? is there a newer tech to replace it?
I did see a few newer books, but they are RESTful web service, whats the difference between web servie and RESTful web service.
please let me know what you are currently using and where should I start learning.
I learned web services by just tinkering around and looking at code examples.
Here are a few resources to get you started. If you have more questions, feel free. :)

WCF is the successor to web services. WCF contains a lot of bindings they are ways how you bind clients and server. You can use BasicHttpBinding if you need compatibility with clients that used ASP.NET Web services (ASMX-based services).
And now about books. I have found Programming WCF Services very useful. But it doesn't contain full information about security.

I am using Thread for background process in asp.net web application.
Now to the question. Are there any reasons for me not to use multiple threads in a web application? Or do it exist specific guidelines for usage of multiple threads in a web application?
IIS is a multi-threaded server. In general, its good to let IIS worry about the threads.
Know that a background process thread in IIS would be subject to a lot of constraints.
It can live only as long as your request thread, and IIS times these out.
Long running tasks are best pushed out of IIS to
A service process
A WCF based web service
A SQL server job
IIS is not designed for long running jobs. It is designed to process requests quickly.
Yes you can do multithreading in ASP.NET, although the need should be very
rare since each page request is executed on a separate thread anyway. I agree that the need will rarely come up. One such need is if several
operations need to take place, and each one might take a bit of time. In
that case, all four could be started on separate threads, and the page could
return after all four threads complete their work. Of course, designing a
page like that would require more than intermediate skill with ASP.NET.

I am building a web application, where a function is needed where i could make the web app send a specific stream of data to the desktop application, which is running on the web server where the website is also running on.
In example: you push a button, a certain code (probably an integer/string code) gets sent to the desktop app which then does something.
Why it's needed/wanted: we currently use this desktop application to quickly launch specific gameservers, without having to fiddle around with a million different shortcuts to each server, for each different configuration.
Now we'd like to have a web application to work as a "middle man" so certain people could start gameservers without having to connect to the server through RDP.
Extra info: the desktop app is currently written in VB.Net, but rewriting it in C#.Net shouldn't be a big problem, if it's needed.
Does anyone of you guys know of any good tutorials or techniques to do this, or have a better solution for my needs?
How about setting up some code in your Web app to write data to a DB. You could then have your desktop app poll the database using a backgroundworker. If it finds new records then it can continue processing.

What is the whole idea behind One Asp? Is it something like we will be able to develop applications for all asp.net framework without any target framework oriented development using VS IDE. How it can change the usage of ASP.NET in the future?
.Net is a framework. means simply it is a collection of large library to solve different programming needs when a programmer wants to write a software. A library is not of books but of small different collection of code . ASP.net is a .net framework. means one who knows ASP programming then ASP.NET is an extention of ASP in .net framework.
It is mainly used for:
Improved Performance and Scalability
Enhanced Reliability
Easy Deployment
New Application Models
Developer Productivity

I've googled this question repeatedly, but have not found a great answer anywhere. I'm sure someone familiar with ASP.net could answer this pretty easily. What is the best way to connect to a database through ASP.net? LINQ to SQL? Entity framework? I'm not able to find an overview of the different methods to connect or of the place that these technologies have in ASP.net. An explanation or a pointer to a great link would be appreciated. Thanks.
This is, unfortunately, a question without a clear cut answer as it depends on your application need, flavor of database you need to interact with, standards currently in place at your target deployment environment and application design considerations.
Most often relational database access is accomplished in asp.net through either direct or indirect usage of ado.net. If you plan on adhering to common, current practice you should look into using an ORM to speed development time, namely either Entity Framework or NHibernate. (Linq to SQL was great for SQL Server but has been eclipsed by EF.). My preference is NH.
Sorry for the somewhat subjective answer, but this is unintentionally a subjective question.
Good luck!

I have installed alfresco community edition and want to develop a web application having database connectivity.
I have developed that application using jsp, servlets but want to develop the same application in alfresco.
Can anybody help where to start?
I have written a series of tutorials for people new to the Alfresco platform. I humbly submit those as a good place to start. There are also a number of books available on Alfresco.
It is a little hard to tell what you are trying to do from your brief description, but if you are trying to perform CRUD operations against the repository, I strongly suggest that you start with the Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) standard because that gives you a vendor-neutral, language independent way to talk to Alfresco or any other CMIS-compliant repository. My tutorials cover CMIS. You also might be interested in OpenCMIS, which includes a CMIS client API for Java.
That should get you started.
One of the more documented ways is to use Alfresco Web Services Client (I am using alfresco-web-service-client-3.4.d). Its a SOAP client generated from the WSDL provided by Alfreco.
There are good examples on the web. Google for Alfresco+Web+Services+Ingres.
If you have developed the application, then it will definitely help you know the flow and understanding of the application.
You need to play around with alfresco, check their website: http://www.alfresco.com/
