Web Interface

[awalyl]

I'm wondering how I would go about creating a simple web interface for an application. So in a browser, a user can type in the IP address of the computer it is running on to view/change program settings.

Thank you

You could look at writing an ASP.NET application, you can write these in Visual Studio just like you would a normal program. Do a bit of reading up on it and post in the relevant section on this forum if you get stuck or have further questions

If you mean remotely change your program's settings from a web browser, then your program would need its own HTTP server built-in. Doesn't need to be really elaborate, but just be able to processes HTTP requests and return correct results.

There's a web/HTTP server made by CVMichael in the VB6 CodeBank that you can look off of.

Additionally, if the user running the program is behind a router or firewall, they will need to have port 80 (http) open and accessible. Assuming that is the port you use. If you use a different one, you'll need to specify it in the URL...

http://123.123.123.123:12345 - where 12345 is the port.
