It will be used to initiate encoding of a tv capture card with windows media encoder 9.<br />
<br />
I've written an application that will start the encoder with the click of a button -- took all of five lines to turn it on.<br />
<br />
Anything else?

But I want to be able to make some changes to the process as it runs -- like change the channel. &nbsp;So I can't shell it out everytime.

I want to call a process to run from ASP (on IIS) to run indefinitely. &nbsp;I originally wanted to make a DLL or something, but decided I probably would need a container for it, so that won't work. &nbsp;I figure I'm probably going to have to create an application to run IDLE on bootup and then use a custom DLL to access that object from an ASP script.<br />
<br />
Or is there a better way to do this?<br />
<br />
Thanks

Calling a process to run indefinitely from ASP

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
