Call a VB.NET form in ASP.NET page

Actually, depending upon how complex your vb.net project is...there is a way to kind of call it from an asp.net website. If you publish your vb.net windows based project using ClickOnce[^] and then setup your asp.net website to include a page that has a link to the published ClickOnce location it can give that effect. There are even ways to pass parms from the asp.net into the vb.net when it launches.

There are also a bunch of Code Project Articles[^] for ClickOnce that might guide you in the right direction.

Hope this helps.

Hello Kschuler ,

Thanks for the reply. Actually I already have a full fledged VB6 applciation (like an inventory system) that is working perfectly.
I want to make it web based. Will the clickOnce help me do that? i mean when I call the vb applciation from an asp.net web page, will the whole application (iuncluding the forms and their events etc.) run the way it does in VB6 ?

Thanks

It depends on your application. If you are trying to tie into one single database for all users who use the PC application this is probably not a solution for you. However, if your application is intended to have a separate database from other people running the application it might be what you are looking for.

Hope this helps.
