Ryan,
Although I'm no MAC development pro I am working on similar project, a
compiled MAC app talking to an ASP.Net web service.
In my brief experience I've gravitated to using Cocoa/Objective-C (vs.
Carbon) since it seems to be the most "productive" environment for newbies
like me.
I would suggest looking into WSMakeStubs for creating the hooks into your
web service (search for "Webservice question" in the cocoa-dev archive to
see some of the issues I've already worked through).
Hope this helps,
-mark

Subject: Porting .NET/XML app to the Mac
I would like some advice.
I am considering porting one of our Windows applications from .NET to Mac.
We have several Mac users that have requested our product, but it currently
runs on Windows and communicates with our back end IIS server through a
WebService. I am curious as to what you "pros" would use to do what we are
thinking about. Advice on languages, components, or techniques would be
greatly appreciated.
THE APPLICATION
1. App is a compiled UI to a server-based service.
2. When launched, the app connects to a web service and downloads the user's
configuration blob (in XML).
3. As the user works within the app, the XML-based configuration file is
modified.
4. When the user "Saves" their changes, the configuration blob is then
pushed back to the server through the web service.
PROJECT CONSTRAINTS
1. The back end server is IIS and is running ASP.NET with two main web
services published. This cannot be changed at this stage.
2. The app must use as many native technologies as possible. Mac is not
currently our primary deployment platform so we cannot invest large amounts
of money in it with 3rd party products.
3. The use of open source technologies (or freebies) is highly discouraged.
Again, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx,
Ryan
