Ok. I created a site using that free asp (classic) webhost to pull data from an internal access database that I control on there. The asp runs sql commands and returns back data in whatever format I want. My favorite so far is to return the data in the form of a javascript file containing a JavaScript Linq array that I can use JSLinq to query against. I then use the javascript in silverlight to import additional javascript and point at the asp page as the "js" file. This works awesomely and quickly. Really is a very interesting solution. I don't know if I can integrate it to facebook, but that's not entirely necessary.
But today I discovered Google Orkut and Google OpenSocial. This is what facebook should be or should have at least. A free way to host your own applications! So, I will probably continue programming my project the way I have been, but I will definitely check out OpenSocial and Orkut. -Neo42 On Sep 2, 3:02 pm, Neo42 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Unfortunately, httpwebrequest from google gears requires it to be from > the same context. :( > > So.
