Website <==> VB Application

Ive been attempting this for a while and I haven't gotten anywhere, so I figure, why not run it by you guys? I'm trying to figure out a way to send data to and from a website and a visual basic application. Google has not been helping. So far the best I can do is send info to the VB program by having the website alter a text file while the VB program scans that text file for changes. This is not how I want it to work. Best case scenario, no database/file on the web has to be used as a middleman.

You can't. Or wait, let me rephrase this for more accuracy: You can't.

For practicality's sake, let's assume that I'm not dead-set on using VB.

Let's assume I wanted to help you, (which I don't), and the application is running on your client machine (running it on the server machine has some additional ways for communication)

Your might want to try having the application connect to the website using some sort of Socket/HTTP API and extract any data you want to use. Of course, your application can also communicate with the server using regular HTTP GET/POST.

This isn't much unlike using a web browser, except the response the web server is sending should be tailored to what your application's needs (assuming you can alter both application and web page, of course).

The less than, equal to, or greater than operator?

you mean the True operator?

Actually, NaN <==> NaN = False.
