Is it possible to pass value from Windows Form Application to Web Form Application(ASP.Net)? For example the user session from Windows Form App passed to Web Form App.

What I have tried:

So far, I haven't try anything yet since I'm not very sure about that. I tried searching everywhere on internet also but I couldn't find one. So I am wondering either it's possible or not. If it's a yes, could somebody give me an example on how to do that. Thank you.

You can use HttpWebRequest to implement your requirement, and append all the values you want to post into a single string for the request. Here is the code snippet:

In windows app:

C#

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://www.yoursite.com");
request.Method = "POST";

formContent = "FormValue1=" + someValue +
    "&FormValue2=" + someValue2 +
    "&FormValue=" + someValue2;

byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(formContent);
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
request.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;
Stream dataStream = request.GetRequestStream();
dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
dataStream.Close();
WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
dataStream = response.GetResponseStream();
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(dataStream);
string responseFromServer = HttpUtility.UrlDecode(reader.ReadToEnd());
//You may need HttpUtility.HtmlDecode depending on the response

reader.Close();
dataStream.Close();
response.Close();

In VB page load method:

VB

Protected Sub Page_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
	For Each key As String In HttpContext.Current.Request.Form.AllKeys
		Dim value As String = HttpContext.Current.Request.Form(key)
	Next
End Sub
