Integration with a .net site

Cookies are not like sessions where the data is stored on the server, instead cookies store the data on the clients web browser and can be read in on any part of the website by both ASP, ASP.NET, PHP, etc.

The login cookie data returns the data that can be used to build a cookie which will auto login the user to the forum.

The 'MemberName' is the name of the forum member you want to get the data for.

The Username and Password fields that are required for each action are for security, you must pass across the MasterAdminLoginName and the MasterAdminLoginPassword.

This is the username and password for your master built in admin account to authenticate the call as a valid call by yourself and not an unauthorised user trying to hack your forum.

The documentation at the top of the page gives some examples.

You can not pass variables between ASP and ASP.NET.

The XML HTTP API allows you to post data from an ASP.NET page to the API which will return and XML result which you would then parse using ASP.NET.

This is quite a standard way for an XML HTTP API to work and there are lots of examples on the web on how to use such API's. The hardest part would be parsing the XML data returned, but ASP.NET is very good at handling XML.

You can use the API to post data to the forum to create a new member in the forums database. You can also use it to return an XML response with the data needed to create a forum login cookie which can be used to log a member into the forum from ASP.NET.
