Re: Still Need desperate help to start with ASP NET - simplified problems - HELP!!

Then look at the second simple suggestion of creating a webserver in your
windows application.

Web browsers follow the HTTP protocol - they submit requests based on this
protocol over TCP to port 80 (typically) so you have to work within those
constraints if you wish to use a web browser (as you state) as your client.
To respond to a request from a web browser, you need a port listener that
understands the http commands the browser will issue when you post a request
to a remote port.

No I am not reinventing it. This is a simplified example. The point
here is I want
to talk with a win application. Not to IIS. In this example it seems
not necessary
but I need to talk to a Win app that does huge processing before and
after
receiving dome data from asp page. I have removed the processing
problem just
to get to the essence of the problem.

You have seen only the surface of the question and not got the real
point.
See my previous posting, in case. Thanks anyway.

are
for, and IIS can do what you need with 1 line of code in an asp.net page.

Look at the request and response objects in the asp.net section of the
framework.

If your looking to create your own webserver, then you'll need to examine
other examples.

I am still working with no success on that client/server
problem. I need your help. I will submit simplified versions
of my problem so we can see clearly what is going on.

My model:

A client uses IE to talk with a server.
The user on the client (IE) sees an ASP net page containing
a TextBox. He can write some text in this text box and
push a submit button.

Problem 1. What's the code the ASP NET page?
============================================

A server computer on http://MyServer/MyApp.exe has a .NET
program running. This is a win application which contains
somewhere the following public function:

Function GenerateResponsePage(ByVal ThisIsWhatReceivedFromClient As
String) As String

Dim MyWebPage As String = String.Empty

MyWebPage &= "<html>"
MyWebPage &= vbCrLf & "<Body>"
MyWebPage &= vbCrLf & "Received from client: <br>"
MyWebPage &= vbCrLf & ThisIsWhatReceivedFromClient
MyWebPage &= vbCrLf & "</Body>"
MyWebPage &= vbCrLf & "</html>"

Return MyWebPage

End Function


The win application on the server receives the text submitted in the
text box
(we call it "ThisIsWhatReceivedFromClient") by the user who is using IE
on the client side. As an answer the Server sends back a page generated
by
the function "GenerateResponsePage" and the browser displays it to the
User
on the client side.


Problem 2. How do I make the win application to
receive the text submitted by the user in the TextBox ?
======================================================

Problem 3. How do I make display the string generated by
the "GenerateResponsePage" (simple html page) on the user
browser ?
============================================================

That all for now. My biggest problems are with problems 2 and 3. I need
a simple
working example to get started. Please help!
