I am writing a Web Service to run once every weekday and execute a SQL Server
sproc to determine if there are any tasks to be performed that day. If there
are any such tasks, I need my Web Service to notify other Web Services that
there is work for them to perform. Among the many tasks are notifying one or
more departments that there are: follow-up phone calls to place,
correspondence to be sent, an item needing to be sent to collections, an item
to be written off, or a reimbursement to be made to name but a few.

How can I get my Web Service to notify the others of the work?

You use a queuing directory and send trigger files to a public file share
that applications can access, you might even want to use a System Filewatch.
Or you use a SQL Server database table as the trigger table that the
applications can access.

That's if you can make code changes to the other services. You're going to
have to make some code changes to the other services no matter how do it and
look at it, so that the other services can recognize a notification.

You might want to keep it simple. Sometimes, simple is a more reliable
solution.

There is also a MS.Public.dotnet.framework.webservices NG as well.
