send string from vb to aspx

[patr0805]

Hi I have this problem that I want to send a string to a aspx site on my website from my local visual basic application and I would like it both ways.

Can anyone help me:

I ques it is something like
dim a
a = me.season("dsd")
in the web application.

If there dosen't exists any quick code to do this like me.season then tell me.

if you want a quick way to send data to a website you an try something like this:

www.mypage.com/datareciver.aspx?data="MyString"
 
 
then on the datareciver page:
 
string data = Request["data"]

There is no such thing as "season"....
Are you trying to use Session?

You are going to have to have to create a common data store which will allow both your web application and desktop application to access the shared data.

You can use a data database, or file, xml file.... or anything that gives permissions to both applications and allows them access to the information you need to share.

You cannot use Session to do this. Sessions are used to identify a person by giving their Browser a cookie to identify them (in general use)....since this doesn't help you with your application, Sessions will be of no use to you.

Hope this helps.

Sorry there is not.
You can store the string in a database so that both applications can retrieve and use it.

Your ASPX web application is meant to run on a web server and serve information to users using HTML web pages.

Your desktop application is meant to run on a client's machine.

Web pages just display information, they do not have the rights to do anything to the client's machine...they do not have the rights to communicate with your desktop application.

I do not understand why the web application has anything to do with the desktop application.

Could you please explain what you are trying to do in more detail.

I'm sorry but you're going to have to explain what a "multiplayer connection" is.
Are you talking about a game?
Played through an aspx page?
Or a desktop application?


I'm still confused.
Could you please try to explain the problem again and maybe even post some code snippets to help explain what you are trying to do...
What have you tried so far?

its a dektop application witch have to send a string alone with a season number to an aspx and then the desktop application on the other computer will retrived the string by the same season number as the sender.

Its a multiplayer game functioning over an aspx page for faster sending.

I only want to know if the aspx page can send a string to a dekstop application web
browser control.

maybe there is a way to see the web site title from the desktop application.

Sorry there's no way that the aspx page can send a string to the desktop application.

Consider using a web service instead...combined with a timer in the desktop application that will retrieve the string (if it's there) from the web service after a certain time period has passed.
