Just curious about the best way to go about this. I want to make a webpage that shows the amount of time it takes to ping all the machines on my network. I want a C# program to do the pinging and report it to the webpage. I want to be able to click "Re-ping" on the webpage and the program rerun the test. What is the best way to go about this?
The biggest issue is how to get things from the user to the C# program.
I can make the program post on the server, and the server show the user, like below.
User <----> PHP Host <---- C# Program
However how could I get data to go the other way?
PHP Host ---?-->C# Program
Am I thinking about this all wrong?
I do want the pinging and other things to be handled by a C# program as it has far more complex functionality (threading, connections, etc) than a PHP host that is interpreted as it is requested.
Is it possible that I could let the C# program return pages to users and avoid a PHP server all-togeather?
Any ideas are welcomed.
