Recieving posts without a web service
-
This is mostly theoretical right now, but I am looking to see if this is possible: I am working on a web application that I want to be able to make available as a back-end to other web applications, but want to allow the ability to accept posts without using a webservice. Just as an example of what I am looking to do, I want to be able to take a regular HTML page with a submit control, and have the web application be able to accept, say, a string, and process that string. (something simple like save it to the database). I am familiar with web services in ASP .Net and will be using them as well, but I am looking to allow this alternate method as well. I have been googling it, but haven had much luck so far because its hard to get search engines to not be so literal :) I am aware of some Java web apps that do this, usually they process XML input.

WebRequest is the easy way.Web services is better, but a little harder to implement. It depends on your application needs.

All aspx pages and ashx pages accept post data. What you will be doing, however, is writing duplicate code because it is the exact thing that web services provide for you.

Most of this sig is for Google, not ego.Oh, I am absolutely aware that i will be duplicating my effort with this, it is just about providing options, as well as a healthy dose of preoffesional curiosity. I appreciate both of you giving me actual answers too, as opposed to "just use web services" or "why dont you just use web services?". You have no idea how good it feels to get that on a Monday :D
