Webpart and Rich Client

[chanchitodata]

Hi,

I want to do the following:

Create a WebPart(in Sharepoint 2007) that downloads a .NET Rich Client. Well
downloaded the Rich Client needs to communicate with the Web Part(through
http calls).
Googling around I have found examples with Webpart/Javascript communication
but I have not found any examples with a Rich Client/Standalone app
communication.
I dont know if it is possible to do this. As i see it there are 2 problems.

1) I need to embeed the RichClient inside my web part, how do I download an
embedded file. This could be solved by not embedding the RichClient but I see
it cleaner to embeed the file inside the WebPart to avoid installing other
files than the WebPart
2) WebPart/Client communication. Is there any possibility to mimic the JS
AJAX call, eg the WebForm_DoCallback call?


Is this possible???

Cheers,
/Rodrigo A

There was no way for you to know it (except maybe by browsing through some
of the previous questions in this newsgroup before posting yours - always a
recommended practice) , but this is a classic asp newsgroup. ASP.Net bears
very little resemblance to classic ASP so, while you may be lucky enough to
find a dotnet-knowledgeable person here who can answer your question, you
can eliminate the luck factor by posting your question to a group where
those dotnet-knowledgeable people hang out. I suggest
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet.
