Hi,

I am new to ASP.NET and I have a challenge here:

I have to create a webpage which should take C/C++ program from textarea and should produce output of the program below the textarea using label when a button is clicked on the webpage.

I have no difficulty creating the front page(textarea,button,label or other controls) and reading the content of textarea in back end page(cs page).

But I don't have any idea how I can compile and run the program read from textarea and produce the output which can be assigned to a label on webpage.

Any help on this will be much appreciated.

Regards,
Raj

What do you mean at "Run C/C++ program"?

If you want to start another process, you can use the Process class.

If you want to call a C++ function from your managed code, you can see my CP article about: Exposing native to managed - C++/CLI vs. P/Invoke.

Probably you could:

Save your text into a (source) file.
compile the source file using an actual C/C++ compiler.
Upon successfull compilation, run the executable redirecting its output to a text file, say out.txt
Show the out.txt content in your page.

It is worth noting each of the above steps has its caveats.
