Is it possible to run a C# application off my linux webhost?

I am on a project that allows people to download wave files off a website.
The thing is we want to incorporate stenography in the audio files (hiding a 6 digit user code in it)- so we can identify everyone of them.

The stenography has to be done on the fly, before a user downloads it. Its supposed to work as a security measure, something like image watermarking.

Therefore I have a C# application that can do this. However I was looking for a way to put this application in the website? NuSoap seems to use some webservice, but it seems the C# app. will exist as a desktop client app? Or do i have to use CGI scripting?

I started researching down this path because I could not find a way to do it with just server side scripting. (Unless there is some api out there?)

Any tips or directions would be much appreciated!

Hi,

it seems my web host does not even support java or asp.net environment!
Does this mean i'm kind of out of options? Because I only have java and C# code
for my function. And I can't find something in PHP to do this.

Any other plausible options for me ?

Yes, you can run C# under Linux, if your web host is agreeable: you need to run Mono (Google will help you there) on teh webserver, then (in theory at least) any .NET application can run.

Absolutely, using Mono, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mono_(software)[^].

CGI or not… CGI is bad, of course. With C#, you would be better off using ASP.NET. I would use Apache with mod_mono. See ,[^] and all the references from this page, they are all very useful.
