Question about automatic file downloading

[liuk]

hi,
i'd like to know your opinion abou this problem of mine :
my application periodically (every week) needs to update some data (price list stored in a db) with those provided by a web site.
This web site allow the download of an .xls file with prices.

I don't know if the website has some websevice to invoke (how could i get this info?). If no, is there some way to automatically download the .xls file (without going on the web site)?

thanks.

You could create your own service that went and downloaded the file at a certain time using a httpWebRequest.
