&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Say in your application, if the web based system has the times which the doctor is free then you can program the applicatio to either allow only selecting the free times (by displaying the free time slots) or by validating the requested time witht eh doctors appointment database. Of course you'll need to access teh doctors appointments database for these scenarios.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Or what you can do is to allow to make a request for an appointment and later manually inform teh status. But definitely the earlier method is much much better.</description></item><item><title>i have a doubt for the mobile web application</title><link>http://forums.asp.net/thread/716172.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 11 Oct 2004 17:08:05 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">4c671506-2930-414c-a40b-8bf57ded5924:716172</guid><dc:creator>Zyess</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://forums.asp.net/thread/716172.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://forums.asp.net/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=48&amp;PostID=716172</wfw:commentRss><description>Now i use my mobile phone to book an appointment with doctor at a specified 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
time (so my mobile phone now access the mobile website in order to do so) but unfortunately 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
the time i specify is not suitable because doctor is busy at that time so in this case a 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
person, e.g nurse, need to instantly inform me of this (so the nurse need to access the 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
mobile website and send me a message regarding to this matter). 
&lt;br /&gt;
So in this case i need to code directly inside the mobile website or other 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
alternative ways????..........it is a bit like sms.....what i really want to know is that can mobile web 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
application support two-way communication, which mean customers use mobile phone to book or 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
whatever (client side), then we at server side can also send message instantly back to them 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
just as the scenario described above......is it possible??? or which commands or methods i 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
can refer to in order to make this happen???
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I hope you can understand what i mean. THANK YOU.</description></item></channel></rss>
