Hello Derek,

As you can probably realize by now, the imprtant thing is not how you send the parameters to the pop-up Form from the MainForm but how you send them from the pop-up Form to the ASP.NET page.
As the ASP.NET page is on the same virtual directory as the Visual WebGui application, they run on the same Session object and so you can store specific information on the Session object for the specific ASP.NET page to use.
You can use a time stamp that will invalidate the variable after 4 seconds for example.
When the ASP.NET will be loaded on server-side it will check for a Session variable meant specifically for it. If it will find expired variables, it will also remove them at the same time.

If you use HTTPS, even if the page is intercepted before reaching the client machine, reading the requests and responses will be useless and any changes in them will only cause the destruction of the content of the internal TCP packets, causing the browser not to be able to render the resonse.

There is no way a hacker will be able to view and or change the parameters sent between Forms on your application, unless this hacker hacks into the server itself and gains access to the ASP.NET run-time on your IIS.

You can find some information about the AspPageBase class and use in this forum thread here.
The AspControlBoxBase is the base class for any Wrapper class generated by our wrapper tool.
And by now you probably know some about the AspPageBox...

Hi Derek,

If you provide the necessary checks for if Me.PageContext.Parent is valid, then I would say this is pretty much ok, and should prevent the aspx page from loading, if not invoked from a dialog with the fitting signature of being DirectCast-able to UploadAurigma. Local variables on a dialog form are stored within the session anyway.

Communications of data between the aspx page and your VWG application you have actually answered yourself with the above suggestion of transfering the parameters. In terms of JavaScript communications, please take a look at the links on the AspPageBox wiki page. You should find a few links to that subject there, and I recommend you read at least the one labeled "Communicating between AspPageBox and Visual WebGui form".

Hope this helps,

Palli
