Hello everyone!

I want to call a .Net method through a scheduler.
This scheduler provided by the web host can run php scripts.

So now, I need to call the .Net method MyMethod() of Class MyClass belonging to namespace MyNamespace everyday at 00:00 hrs.

This can be possible if it is called from a php script scheduled to be run by the scheduler.

I have added a php script as follows to call the method. But cant see any result.
Please check if correct. And point out the mistakes.

PHP

<?php

$Obj = new COM ('MyNamespace.MyClass');
$Obj->MyMethod();

?>

Please help.

I'm not exactly sure what the issue is, but you can check what you've done against the following guide:

Failing that, you might also want to take a look at:

You create the key file on your development machine and sign the project with it. You'd have to ask your web host if you can deploy something to the GAC - they might be iffy with this, but maybe there is another solution - if you need to call a .net method from a scheduler, could you not do this with powershell?

Saw the 1st link. Good one. It is what I wanted. But now, I dont know:
1. How to create a Key File on my web Host's server.
2. How to add the assembly file to my web host's GAC.
How do you do it??

Or is there any other way out?

See updated answer.

Sorry, Not familiar with Powershell.
Would try to learn something about Powershell now.
Can we call ASP.Net methods directly from powershell without GAC entry?

Yes you can. You can load the assembly straight from disk. I've updated the answer with a link.

Your answer helped a lot!
Perfect one for Asp.net through PHP.

But as the hosts don't give access to gac to add assembly file, PHP was hard to get going.

PowerShell too was out of reach.

So, I used vbscript for the same and guess what?
It's working!

The resolution to the problem is no doubt different from your answer but still, it was very helpful in the research.

Thanks again!
