Library: Asp.net/vb.net Xml-rpc

After many hours of searching, tweaking, and testing I finally got the beta version of a ASP.net XML-RPC for SL working using VB.net instead of the C# code thats floating everywhere out there.
Hope this helps someone in the same boat This is the code behind page for your asp.net page, tweak as necessary.

You will need to reference the CookComputing XMLRPC .dll that should be placed in your bin folder and referenced the usual way.

Imports cookcomputing.xmlrpc
 
Partial Class _Default
 
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
 
Public Structure Packet
 
Public IntValue As Integer
 
Public Channel As String
 
Public StringValue As String
 
End Structure
 
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
 
 
 
Dim mypacket As Packet
 
 
mypacket.Channel = "51ef73f1-14d6-a6c3-b6b6-dbacaa4127d5" 'use actual prim listening channel here, this one errors (probably doesnt exist anymore)
 
mypacket.IntValue = 1234 'use whatever number you need
 
mypacket.StringValue = "This is my message" ' whatever string value you want to use
 
Dim proxy As SLXMLRPC
 
proxy = CType(XmlRpcProxyGen.Create(GetType(SLXMLRPC)), SLXMLRPC)
 
Dim ret As SLXMLRPC
 
Try
 
ret = proxy.llRemoteData(mypacket)
 
Catch ex As Exception
 
Response.Write(ex)
 
End Try
 
End Sub
 
 
 
<XmlRpcUrl(" http://xmlrpc.secondlife.com/cgi-bin/xmlrpc.cgi")> _
 
Public Interface SLXMLRPC
 
Inherits IXmlRpcProxy
 
<XmlRpcMethod("llRemoteData")> _
 
Function llRemoteData(ByVal retPacket As Packet) _
 
As SLXMLRPC
 
End Interface
 
 
 
 
 
End Class
 

library bump.

Where can i find the C# version ?

Why is this technique better then making a simple http request, then reacting to the event when it returns?
