I am gathering information as far as developing a site with a Flash front end & Visual Basic .NET backend without using Flash Remoting.

A good example would be to input a search string into Flash’s equivalent of a textbox, then have .NET run the string as a stored procedure on an MS SQL database. .NET would then return the dataset or string or whatever so that Flash can publish the information or handle it accordingly. I understand that there is a huge difference between a string & a dataset, but I am just giving an example. So with that in mind, can Flash handle a .NET dataset?

Basically, Flash would need t be able to pass information to .NET then .NET to pass back the result for Flash to publish. I have seen a couple of querystring methods & a web service method, but I would like to see what other options might exist.

Does anyone have any samples of ways to have Flash be used as a .NET site’s facade? Are there suggestions for the best approach to achieve my goals? Can flash use [ADO.NET](http://ADO.NET) or whatever to cut out the .NET middle man as far as connecting to an MS SQL database & processing stored procedures therein? Again, I am trying to accomplish this without Flash Remoting.

thanks for any & all input
