WebRequest

[Mehyar]

Hello All,

 

I though about posting this in the windows form section but i the question is about webrequest. So, I have a form in which I need to call a web form (aspx). This web form in its page load will reset some fields in a database.

 

Now I call the webform using WebRequest

 

Dim hwr as HttpWebRequest = Ctype(WebRequest.Create('the url of the webform'), HttpWebRequest)

 

Is this enough to trigger the webform and make it execute its code.

 

If not what should i do ??

 

Many Thanks in Advance,

[Robby]

This task can be best handled by a Web Service.

Thank you Robby for the reply, but Did you mean that the windows application will call the web service which in turn will call the web form ? Or what you meant is use a web service to reset the fields in the database ?

 

If it is the first case then please instruct how can i invoke the web page from the web service (is it web request, anything else) ...

 

If it is the second case, then I am afraid I cant because I have to use that web form.

 

Thx in advance,

My thought was to do all the DB updates from a web service, but you can still do it all from a web form.

 

What I don't get is why you want a Windows form to call a Web form in order to update the DB.
