I guess I don't really understand what you're trying to do. You're going to have to describe a bit better what you're trying to accomplish...

If you have a Web Connection application running there should be no reason to have an intermediary Windows Service. Just call the Web Connection application directly from your C# code via HTTP.

We decided to create a Windows Service in c# to do that.
The problem is, I don't find how to call it in VFP with West Wind...

Any idea ?

Ok I'll get some informations about that.

Thanks a lot for your quick answer

Not really sure what you're trying to build based on your description of your application.

But to pass data from the .NET application to the FoxPro Web application the best way will be HTTP requests, POSTing data to the server and getting a response back.

You can use plain HTTP requests in .NET to call the Web Connection server. There are several classes built into .NET for this: HttpWebRequest is the old stalwarth for this, there's the simpler WebClient class, or the much more powerful HttpClient() class introduced in .NET 4.5.

Hey,

First of all, sorry for my language mistakes, I'm french and not bilingual at all !

I need some help, here is my problem :
In my company, I need to develop a tool, accessible from our web application.
This tool must be able to do what VFP can do with printing states.

With my boss, we agreed that we should do it in c# with .NET and OpenXML Framework.
We imagined that we would create some tags to put in word documents and it should work like VFP.

But I don't know how my .NET application will communicate with our West Wind website.

Do you have any ideas for this ?

Or maybe another idea than OpenXML ?

Thanks a lot.

Tony
