Hi all,
I want to develop an app that during it's installation it activates
itself by making a request to a page online (aspx), than runs a script and
provides an activation string for the app. How can I make this communication
happen?

Thanks in advance,
Peter

Hi Peter,

look at the System.Net.WebClient class.

Example:

System.Net.WebClient wc = new System.Net.WebClient();
byte[] data = wc.DownloadData("http://www.mkcs.at/index.wml")
string strData = System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.UTF7.GetString(data);

HTH,

Michael

Hi Peter,

I would think a simple webrequest/response to a specified url would do what you want. You should be able to pass some info to the page with the request. Then you can simply parse the web page returned.

Happy coding!

Create a webservice. It can just return some XML and you won't have to parse
through an HTML page for the results.
