John,
In addition to Ken Cox's suggestion of hosting ASP.NET.
Check out Cassini, which is the Sample Web Server that Web Matrix uses.
http://www.asp.net/Default.aspx?tabindex=7&tabid=41
It should help you get started hosting ASP.NET for your application.
Hope this helps
Jay
Jay, Thanks!
I've been studying Cassini and I have it running.
What and how do I create a way for a remote user to check on the
status of my application from a browser?
My app is running. Cassini is running. Are they started from the same
main()?
Once they are running I assume the user makes a request to Cassini
from a browser and then I want Cassini to call some function in my app
and which returns some information that's then displayed to the user.
Does this make sense?
Cassini would do something like:
string sometext = myApp.getStatus();
And then translate sometext into an HTML page that is displayed to the
user.
Any pointers to get me started with this?
Thanks!
John
