ASP.net interface with windows API

Hey all,

I am looking for a method to have an ASP.net page perform remote
configuration of an embedded windows device..things like configuring TCP/IP
info, domain participation, computer name, proxy info, etc.

My intent was to have this device host an ASP page in IIS that would make
this possible by calling windows APIs...

First off, does this seem like a viable approach? And if so would one of you
be kind enough to point me in the right direction?

Michael

I presume that the embedded device supports .NET? Does the device support
the entire framework?

I don't see any reason why this couldn't work.

Most embedded machines do not have IIS - but if they do, then this could be
done.

You would call the APIs as if it were a desktop application - no difference
if it's ASP.NET or Windows Forms.

Perhaps some security setting changes to the account which runs IIS, but
those sort of issues won't become apparent until you start development.

I know this sounds stupid but I am going to carry on anyway. I want to create an interface that implements all methods of a form, plus another one or two. But I need to know if there is an interface that defines all a forms methods etc. In the example below "System.Windows.Forms.Form" isn't an interface, but it gets my point across. Is there an interface for a form that I can substitute here? Thank you again Tony

Hi , I need to change the ToolTip in Windows explorer that is shown when the cursor is over a file. Here is how it should work: you create a class that imports IPersistFile and IQueryInfo.

Well here is the problem - in my situation it is not called. The only method that is...

Hi, I've written a program which has both a command line interface and Windows form interface, however it isn't quite working correctly. When run from command line with no arguments it should display the Windows form. The form is being displayed but the command only returns when the form is closed. I want the command line to return immediately, leaving the form displayed.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
