Write to Application or Session Variables from Winform App???

Lucas Tam

Is there a way to write to IIS' Application or Session variables from a
Winforms application? I am trying to share application state between a web
application and a desktop app.

Remoting would work too but seems to be an overkill - I only want to pass
one value.

No, they are separate applications and need to use some sort of remote
procedure call mechanism, like remoting or web services offer.

no problem. look at the webclient, or webservice. if your webservice is in
the same vdir as the web application then you can share application dta. if
you want your winform app to share session, then just add the session cookie
support in winform app. you could add the session id to webform request.

Tampa .NET Koder

What you could try is copying your .exe file to your wwwroot of your web
server and then launching your app via a url.
http://localhost/yourapp.exe

This your app will be launched within the contex of your IIS host session.
Then, you probably can user the System.Web.Http Contex (i think thats it) to
write and retreive data from session variables. I have seen this done before;
and they had to do it this way.

Global variables - application variables vs include file

by: mark4asp | last post by:

What are the best methods for using global constants and variables? I've noticed that many people put all global constants in a file and include that file on every page. This is the best way of doing it - is it not? Once the application has loaded the page it is cached and is immediately available for other pages. With global variables - the best thing to do would be to use application variables - so long as there weren't too many...

Hi, I'm building this web application using asp.net and c# as code behind. Currently I save all my session data in session variables. One of the things that this application must do, is to invoke another instance of the same application, with different parameters, of course.

Scalable Application Design

by: Terry Holland | last post by:

Ive read that to build scalable web apps it is not recommended that state be stored in session variables. My understanding of this is that, with many users using the application concurrently, the amount of memory required to store all their session variables would very quickly exhaust the web server's memory. Also, if the application is to run on a web farm, there is no guarantee that all requests for a session will be dealt with by the...
