Hi all,

I'm trying to host ASP .NET pages in my webserver(other than IIS).

I'm using ApplicationHost and SimpleWorkerRequest classes for this.I've a problem with ApplicationHost class.This is my code..

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Web;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Web.Hosting;

namespace AspxExecute
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Summary description for AspxHosting.
    /// </summary>
    public class AspxHosting
    {
        Host myHost;
        public AspxHosting()
        {
            }

        public bool CreateHost( string virtualDirectory )
        {
               try
               {
                myHost = (Host)ApplicationHost.CreateApplicationHost(typeof (Host),"/",virtualDirectory); //Creates Exception return true;
            }
            catch(Exception ex)
            {
                MessageBox.Show (ex.Message,"exception");
                return false;
            }
        }

        public string ExecuteAspx( string fileName )
        {
            return myHost.Execute( fileName );
        }
    }

    public class Host : MarshalByRefObject
    {
        public string Execute( string fileName )
        {
            StringWriter wr = new StringWriter();

            //create a worker to execute the aspx file
            HttpWorkerRequest worker = new SimpleWorkerRequest(fileName, "" , wr);

            //Execute the page
            HttpRuntime.ProcessRequest(worker);

            return wr.ToString();
        }
    }
}

I'm getting an exception with ApplicationHost.CreateApplicatioHost.The exception is
"File or assembly name AspxExecute,or one of its dependencies,was not found".I'm clueless abt this exception and i never faced such an exception before.

Can anyone help me to fix this problem.

Thanks a lot,
Suresh.

Huh? How can you host ASP.NET pages in something other than IIS? Are you using Mono?

No.I've written my own webserver which already supports cgi,perl,etc.

And i get a chance to study Professional .NET Network Programming by Wrox written by Andrew Krowczyk,Vinod Kumar, Nauman LAghari, Ajit Mungale,Chriatian Nagel,Tim Parker and Srinivasa Sivakumar.

In that book in page no.329 it is given that we can host ASP .NET pages in our own webservers and they have given the complete code for that also.I also tried the same code.But i'm getting the exception as stated in the first post.

Thanks for any help,
Suresh.

Sorry. my bad. I'm not used to questions regarding such advanced scenarios. I'll let someone else help.

The best way is that u ask this question to the ppl who have given the code
the can guide u batter coz this is something between what tye code of server says and whant .net wants...

:)

Hey...i fixed the problem by installing the above dll in the Global Assembly Cache.I can able to execute simpe ASP .NET pages now.

I've a my second problem now.I don't know how to pass the Querystring and the POSTed content to the ASP .NET executer dll.

Any help?
