A small amount of sample code to show how it is possible to use Direct 3D from ASP.NET.
The real work here is to figure out how to make use DirectX 3Dwork on the server side of an .aspx page.
The sample should include one .aspx page with a text input box, an image, and a submit button.
A user should be able to enter some text like "Hello", then click the submit button, then the page is processed on the server and returns with the image displaying a bitmapped version of the text that was created using Direct3D.
**The sample must work if no one is physically logged on to the computer (like a real web site would do). If you can figure this part out you've essentially solved the hard part of this problem.**
I suspect the trick may be to have a helper process that is called from the ASPX page. Maybe this helper process can be created in a Window Station that allows the Directx? I'm just speculating, it will require some testing to find what works.
Note this is a server side problem that doesn't involve anything browser specific.
Thanks -

1) One .aspx page as described above
2) As needed, a server side component or application that is called from the aspx page to perform the Direct 3D on the server side.
1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done.
2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables):
a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment.
3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased.
