Can a frontpage add-in communicate with a remote .NET assembly?

[hardieca]

Good afternoon,

I have developed an HTML parser in C#. I would like to be able to use
this parser in Frontpage to do some validation checks before a webpage
is saved.

My issue is that we do our website work in a Windows 2000 environment
without the .NET framework. I do, however, have access to a server in
this environment which does have the .NET framework. Is it possible to
create a Frontpage add-in in Visual Basic 6 that can pass the page's
source code to my .NET parser on a remote server for checking? I don't
have admin rights to my machine, so installing or writing to the
registry is out...

I'm rather new to Windows programming in general and .NET in
particular, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Chris

Chris,

You can expose .NET components as COM components. Even if you wrote a
component in VB6 to plug into FrontPage, you would have to install it in the
registry. That being said, I would install the framework on the server and
then expose your .NET code as a COM component exposing the correct
interface.

Hope this helps.
