I need to post information to a database hosted by another webhost, however I want my page to actually redirect to my own site.

I have a "receipt" that I host and need to display to the visitor (I also host the shopping cart), but data that needs to go to my client's web server at the same time.

I appreciate any and all help!!

I am not sure if you have a question here or if you are wondering if there are any implications in doing things this way.

In any event, this is a fairly "normal" setup in that you have a seperation between your webserver and database server. What you would do is something like:

protected void Submit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   //Do some processing
   //Build a connection to the database;
   //Pass in the connection requirements for your remote database server
   //in the connection string

   //Clean up
   //Do something else
}

If your client is using SQL Server you will need to make sure that their box is configured to allow remote connections.

From the sounds of the question you have a remote web site that has a page that requires a POST to it to capture some data. However, you don't want the user's browser to be sent to that page.

You could use the HttpWebRequest class to construct an HTTP request that includes the POST data and posts that to the page from your application. This eliminates the user's browser from the process all together.

That's exactly right. I want MY receipt to be the visitor's last page, but need the data posted to my client's web server. I don't want MY visitor to end up on my client's site, only the order.

How would I go about creating a HttpWebRequest?

Thanks!
