Question

I have a WinForms .NET component that can render and save JPG images. How can I make it work on my ASP.NET website each time a visitor requests a page?

1. Do I need write a web service?
2. Do I need to run a winforms app on the server and interact with it?
3. Do I need to host it on a separate ASP.NET page and query it to render and save new images?

Thanks.

EDIT: I am looking for a solution that doesn’t need any control to be downloaded but simply a page refresh to display the new image.
