Thanks to everyone for responding to my rather general query on building a web app with R.
I have decided to investigate in further detail ASP.NET and connect to R using R(D)Com, see http://sunsite.univie.ac.at/rcom/ . Indeed this method has already been partly tried and tested, see: http://www.msbi.nl/R/Demo.htm from the Leiden University Medical Center website, for an example web app built with this arcitechture. Some details on implemenatation are given here: http://www.msbi.nl/dnn/Default.aspx?tabid=159 I will keep you posted on my progress.

I went looking for statistical back ends to ASP.NET and didn't find anything that I thought was worth spending money for. -- M.
