How can I send commands to a WinForms application from an ASPX web page? We have already explored executing the WinForms application with different command line parameters but wanted something more smart.
Thanks.

Create a web server within your application that listens for HTTP
GETand/orPOSTcommands and acts appropriately. Then use AJAX to send request, i.e., http://localhost/myapp/?command=print&file=teletubies.jpgYour web server, which is just a program that listens on port 80 and sends responses according to the very simple HTTP protocol, within your application then parses the requested URL and decides that it should
printthe fileteletubies.jpgbased on the query string in the URL.
