C# library aware of HTTP.

[arvind_kb100]

My requirement is:
Creating a normal windows dll that receives requests from other
applications in HTTP form and returns the result of processing in XML
format.

eg
http://server:port/dllname/uname&Password/Method?Para1=p1&Para2=p2...

In MSDN I could see HTTPListener class, but not very sure whether this
is the one. It'll be great if anyone can point me to some available
examples or knowledge base.

Thanks in Advance
Arvind Martin

Hi Arvind,

You can create a remoting service and use an HttpChannel:

In .NET 3.0 you can use WCF:
