C what?

C++?

What version will you be using?

[Amahdy]

AJAX is a javascripting, what's the relation?

You can use Ajax with C# - there are lots of examples of that.

I just don't know about other versions of C

[Amahdy]

that's why I asked what's the relation ... C - Ajax ... ok maybe the question should be:

"what do u want to do exactly?"

Thanks for the reply.

I want to use C language as the server side program and send request from client side using AJAX and receive the response back at the client.

This can be done using C#, C++ and ofcourse ASP at the server side.
My concern was whether Ajax can be used with the server side program written in C language.
If any one have any reference example to this please do let me know.

Thanks Hack and Amahdy for the reply

Well, this is what I found. Hopefully something in there will be of benefit to you.

ok i never met something like that ... but as u said the AJAX is sending a request and wait results ... if this request is sent to a console application, and the response is graped from a "cout" or something similar ... so maybe u just need a perl module to call which is by its turn will call this application ...
the thing is all what u can do from AJAX is mentioning the URL of the requested file to execute... whatever this file was an ASP, PHP, PERL ... and can read the normal output from it ... try it (and am not sure) maybe it's the same when u request a C consol application, if not i would search on how to make the server software [IIS or appache] be able to execute a C app.

Hack and Amahdy,
Thanks again guys for the quick and nice gesture of support.
Amahdy I looking for the IIS server or Appache server side C implementation. Please do let me know if you happen to come across something similar to the same.

Thanks Again

This link say the same thing:

The C (or c++ of course) compiled script can run just like any file, put it in cgi-bin and chmod [if u run as nobody] .. or put it in any place if u run as usr ...
*this is for linux ... for windows u don't need more than allowing the execution permission for 'Everybody'.
