posted March 15, 2004 8:26 PM Hi all, I have a need to screen scrape a system running on Linux. I've written a simple VB app that basically seems to work. My problem is that I need to have this running within an ASP.NET page... and more to the point the page is being hosted on a remote system and the only way to telnet into the linux box is via the users PC. So I need someway of creating a control that sits in the browser, telnets into a system, logs in... navigates through some screens, pulls back data and returns it to the calling ASP page. Is this possible??? Any help would be greatly appreciated, Warwick Price |

posted March 15, 2004 10:33 PM I've asked some other people about doing this. They may or may not know. In the meantime, there seem to be plenty of hits on google, so I would start by reading some of these threads: http://groups.google.com/groups?q=Client-Side+ASP.NET&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en |

posted March 16, 2004 11:49 AM Tony, Thanks for the replies... but I don't know if I explained myself properly. I need to be able to access the telnet session from within the browser on the clients PC. I don't have access to the machine I'm telnetting into from the server, only from the user's PC. So what I want to do is have the Emulation control running in the browser that'll login to the telnet session and retrieve data and then send it to the HTML screen. I really don't want to return to the server as... as I said... that I don't have access to the telnet server from there. Does this make sense???? Many thanks, Warwick Price |

posted March 16, 2004 1:17 PM What you are describing in client-side instantiation of the component on a web page, which is what is discussed in all the links I referenced. You'll need to create a component that gets installed and is run from the client machine instead of the server. I don't have any examples, which is why I posted the links. |

posted January 12, 2005 3:03 PM Hey Guys, Did anyone actually got this to work in ASP.NET? As far as I know, VT is a windows control so it cannot be easily implemented inside of ASP.NET pages. Are there any plans to create a web control? |

posted January 12, 2005 5:11 PM You can use it for scraping (see the ScreenScrape sample that was installed when you ran setup) but you can't use it visually / interactively. |
