Hello to everyone who's reading this, and thanks in advance for helping me.But now, to my question:I am building a web application, where a function is needed where i could make the web app send a specific stream of data to the desktop application, which is running on the web server where the website is also running on.
In example: you push a button, a certain code (probably an integer/string code) gets sent to the desktop app which then does something.Why it's needed/wanted: we currently use this desktop application to quickly launch specific gameservers, without having to fiddle around with a million different shortcuts to each server, for each different configuration.Now we'd like to have a web application to work as a "middle man" so certain people could start gameservers without having to connect to the server through RDP.Extra info: the desktop app is currently written in VB.Net, but rewriting it in C#.Net shouldn't be a big problem, if it's needed.Does anyone of you guys know of any good tutorials or techniques to do this, or have a better solution for my needs?Thanks in advance,
~Matt
