How do i get ASP talking to an application on a different machine?

[markgrev]

I am a newcomer to deploying ASP.NET.

I need a very simple ASP page, which i have already developed, to send info to a .net application on another box.

Bearing in mind i know nothing about COM, is there a simple way to effect this communication?

Any help at all would be really greatly appreciated, i am under a strict deadline!

Best regards

Mark

Are you asking about ASP, or ASP.NET? Do you control the .NET app on the other machine, or is it a black box?

Hi Phil.

Thank you for your response. I control the other box as well.

It is a one page ASPX on ASP.NET which takes 6 parameters in, and sends it to the application (a vb.NET app) on the application server.

In that case, you may expose the VB.NET application as a Web service, or via .NET Remoting. For a comparison, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnbda/html/bdadotnetarch16.asp . If you decide to use Remoting, you may find this article helpful: http://www.eggheadcafe.com/articles/20031124.asp
