Any Suggestion for using ASP.NET with Filemaker 6?

[srs04]

I'm looking to use ASP.NET to display data from Filemaker that will show workshops that we offer and also allow visitors to register for online.

XML sounds like it may be the best solution, but I need to be able to both get and post information to the Filemaker database. The web server is currently set up using Filemaker Pro's Web Companion and Lasso WDE 3.6.5. The current solution with Lasso is slow and something faster, hopefully with ASP.NET would be great. I am looking for a way to do it with ASP.NET as that is the language I am currently the most familar with.

So let me know your suggestions on how to connect to the Filemaker database with ASP.NET. Thank you, I greatly appreciate any suggestions.

Hi srs04,

I have used asp with jscript to connect to FileMaker all the time. Mariano Peterson, who is a member of this forum, has created an ASP class to connect to FileMaker Pro 6 and is currently working on a version to connect to FMP 7.

Here is the link:

Its used the same way the FX.php class is used.

Thanks Justin, I'll have to give that a try, and if we ever consider making the move to 7 I'm sure his class for it would be useful also.
