Hi
I am trying to understand how a detailed
ASP.net
MVC web app works. It consumes data from a service that is continually running. I have never built anything like this. What is a service? How does a typically run?


MVC is just an architectural framework for application design.  It neither implies nor requires the use of a service to work, but
APIs
are often components of an MVC web site.
