Hello,
in this example http://www.wrensoft.com/zoom/support/aspdotnet.html they spawn a separate process to run CGI.

That doesn't work on shared hosting plan where the ISP does not allow spawning processes.

Does anyone use Zoom with ASP.NET? Do you do it differently?

Any comments are welcome.

Thanks.
Rastio.

Try using the CGI directly. e.g.
http://www.YourSite.com/search.cgi (http://www.YourSite.com/search.cgi)
Also all .NET servers can also support other script languages, including CGI.

See also this page about setting the security settings to allow a CGI to
run.

If you don't have a full .NET install and can't call the CGI direct, then
you need to look at using the PHP, ASP or Javascript options.
