Communicate From ASP.net Website to a VB.net Application on the computer
-
so yes, the client one. So, the client installs this application to get notified as soon as a new comment is recieved to him from the website of cource (maltatrade.org). I need to make a communication from the Client to the Server. How can I make it happen please?? Thanks for your help.

Well you certainly have not provided a complete picture but it is possible that you simply need to poll your web server using a http request from the client as Paddy suggested using a Web Service would work for this.

I heard about web service. But i don't know how to build a web server :(. All I want is just I have a database in the web server and I want the application (client application) to check the database and check if there is any new comment. If yes it returns a boolean true else false. This type

I guess you mean web "service". So what if you don't know how to do it. Any approach we suggest you won't know how to do correct? So complaining isn't going to help, do the required studying to learn, then develop your solution. That is what a professional developer does right?

which means, you need a Client App that will make a remote connection to a server(web server running a server database possibly) and check for the comment you want. Your problem has been streamlined to How can a Client application connect remotely to and access a database? i havent done anything like this before, but i have seen a vb6 connection snippet using an IP address to connect to a remote server/database. t.aransiola

all i want to is to call a web service .. the web service work is just check the database if theres any new comment, if theres a new comment then it will send a true to the client application else false. An example is just like the Yahoo!. When an email is recieved, if you have the (Yahoo Messenger installed) the yahoo from the taskbar will appear (small pop up) and tells the user that ha has a new email. Thats all..

The previous reply was onto something. It is possible to just setup the application to connect either directly to the SQL Database which would open a huge security risk unless this is an internal process or you must use a web service which is just basically a fancy web application with no user interface. You just need to choose to create a web service and most of the work is taken care of and all you need to do is put in the methods to contact the database. Cleako

Hi, I am in a huge confustion on how to communicate from an asp.net (made by vb.net) web site to an application situated on the computer that is made by vb.net as well. My website is a trading website (maltatrade.org) and i need this application to be installed on every member's computer. This application all it does is to check if there's a new comment for them. How can I make this happen please?? Regards, Adrian

I think you People forgot the Basic .NET Frame work. As all the Application are in a Compiled form even though you are using VB or C# in different projects there wont be any problem in calling. All the functionality will be similar as the application consider only the compield native code. Hai Adrian De Battista you can call the functions from C# - VB or VB - C# as if you are calling C# - C# or VB - VB Regards, Nagendra Rao S.V
