Can you get away with having your windows application trigger a browser to go to:
http://mywebsite/MyASPPage.aspx?MyVar=1234

??

Or do you want it hidden in the background?
There is an object called

  WebRequest   

that might provide the functionality you require.

Plater...No I dont believe that would be an option for me...what I need to do is use the variable to create/complete and asp page that needs that variable to complete my select statement on the page...Could you go into more detail or direct me to the object that you are referring to?

thanks

If the windows application must be running on the client's side, have you considered sticking an instance of the "WebBrowser" control into your form (possibly as a tab?) and then you could manipulate the URL from withen the windows application.


You can think of the WebRequest object as like "AJAX for a windows application"

But if you have the MSDN library installed I like it better for class browsing

Try something like:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("http://mywebsite/MyASPPage.aspx?MyVar="+myvar.ToString());
