hosting c# exe in memory for javascript calls

[Peted]

Hi.

i wanted to write a c# exe (no winforms) that can be loaded once and
stay resident in memory. this exe accepts paramters like port and ip
address on initialization, then transmits string data over a tcp/ip
socket after it is resident in memory.

I want to send the string data to the memmory resident exe from
javascript code running in IE 6/7

i know how to do all the socket stuff in the exe, what i dont know how
to do is make the exe initialise once and stay resident in memmory,
then be able to send data to it from javascript.
andy advice appreciated

thanks

IE (6/7) is a browser and only knows how to make HTTP requests for a resource
defined by a URL - that could be a web page, an image, a CSS stylesheet file,
and so on.
In the browser you can also use the XMLHTTPRequest object to make GET AND
POST requests. This can be done via client script from the browser.
So, it sounds like your idea may be a bit confused vis-a-vis "how things
work".

You can certainly have an ASP.NET ASPX page or ASHX WebHandler that can
recieve your IE requests, do some work, and return results to the caller, but
the idea of using a memory - resident EXE and Sockets doesn't really make
much sense in this particular context. Hope that helps,
Peter

I agree with this. I would also go so far as to say that the "resident
exe" should really be a service, with a web service interface which you can
make calls to with JavaScript (through JSON notation maybe, or the standard
XML notation).
