All,

I'm trying to write a VB application that will parse a set of data,
create an object to hold the required information, then pass that
object to both another VB.net application (no problem) AND a PHP based
web-site. Has anyone done this before? I looked at using SOAP, but
I'm stumped on how to rebuild the object once it's in PHP. Is there
another method to serialize the object that would be more suited for
this interaction?

Regards,
Michael

You'll need a Web Service client. Not sure if PHP provides one, but .NET,
Java, etc all do.

Otherwise you could use XML-RPC, but you'll need a third party library for
..NET.

Or you could just "post" data to the form using the WebClient class in
..NET. The data will get sent as form variables to the PHP page - which you
can easily extract.
