Hi Friends,

Is it possible to pass Flex data to ASP.net(C#) application.?
process that data using ASP.net(C#) and then create XML file of resulting data.
Pass this XML file to again Flex and display those on FLEX application.

Is this type of application is possible?
if yes, please help me to make such an application.

Thank You!

yes its possible and thats how flex works. You can get or send data using HTTPServiceComponent,WebserviceComponent or Using Flex Remoting comoponent.

     Create simple webservice in ASP.NET/C# (Your choice) create simple Method which accept parameter say NoOfRecords to display which you will pass from flex ( assuming you are using web service component).Pass this parameter from Flex like this way

<mx:WebService id="myWebService"
     wsdl="http://localhost:4140/Test.asmx?WSDL"
     showBusyCursor="true" fault= "Alert(event.fault.faultString)">
<mx:operation name = "getEmployees">
            <mx:request>5
            </mx:request>
</mx:operation>
</mx:WebService>

         On ASP.NET c# WebService end get this parameter and populate or create object array (for XML you can using XMLDocument object) and pass back to flex where you will bind result to DataGrid as below


    <mx:DataGrid id="empNames" dataProvider="{myWebService.getEmployees.lastResul t}" x="228" y="110" width="323">
         <mx:columns>
            <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Name" dataField="name" />
            <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Department" dataField="department"/>
        </mx:columns>
    </mx:DataGrid>

Thats all ...you can make it fancier later...sorry for not creating entire code as its easy..Make sure you compile your webservice and set you url accordingly to point WSDL.

Have fun.

PS: On C# Side you can write usual way

[WebMethodAttribute(Description = "Get a list of employees")]
        public Employee[] getEmployees(int noOfRecords)
        {
            //Create array of employees for noOfRecords times

         Employee[] employees = new Employee[2];
            employees[0] = new Employee();
            employees[0].name = "Bob";
            employees[0].department = 123;
            employees[1] = new Employee();
            employees[1].name = "Mary";
            employees[1].department = 456;
            return employees; // Flex will get this back from webservice as -myWebService.getEmployees.lastResult

        }

 public class Employee
    {
        public string name;
        public int department;

    }
