Is it possible to call a function within an asp.net web application from outside that application e.g. with VB.net? If so it would be great to see a hello world type example.
For arguments sake lets say I have my function “helloworld” in a class file within web application: http://server/helloworldapp
My ultimate goal is to enable some reliable / robust scheduling of functions within asp.net. I have read multiple examples about using web services / custom services running on the server etc but I don’t really get the implementation.
Thanks
Based on the information in your question I cannot give you a out the box solution. But in general you can achieve this by multiple ways:
Lift your class containing the method you want to call into a seperate class library, which you can share between the different apps you want.
Expose the method as a webmethod through a webservice or pagemethod.
