Hello ,

I have an .ascx file that simply displays application variables.
The clients requirement is to allow other sites to fetch and display the contents of this file on their web sites.

What might be the best method to do this keeping in mind that the sites to access it may be running on php also.


Regards,

Vinay

Set up a web service to stream XML =]

Hello dparsons,

I am able to pull the data from the other site using the xmlhttp object in Javascript but the problem lies in accessing data source across domains, which causes the "permission denied" error. The workaround for this is to change the "data source across domains" option in IE. This isn't a feasible solution.

I think even if i use the .net webservices the same problem will persist as two different domains are involved in the data exchange.

Any idea ?

Thanks in advance.

uhhh accessing DSN's across the web is NOT a good idea, not even a little bit. Because, one way or another, you are going to have to send authentication information across the net and even if you encrypt it, I still wouldnt suggest doing it. (How many Algorithms HAVENT been cracked yet)

You best bet would to be to setup an RSS feed on one domain so that you can access it from the other and vice versa. (After all, this is what RSS and XML are for, data exchange)
