Question

ASP.NET How do I create verification & notification pages

I'm trying to build asp.net pages to communicate with Govolution for online tax payments. I have the application built that allows users to look up their real estate property tax info and it works fine. Now I have added a "Pay Now" button to the bottom that sends an application_id (supplied by Govolution), a version_id (also supplied by them) and a remittance_id (a unique identifier created by concatenating some fields like parcel and bill number) to Govolution. That's all fine and dandy.

The problem comes when they do the first handshake. That's when I'm supposed to confirm that the remittance_id they send to me matches the remittance_id of the tax bill in question. That seems easy enough but I have no idea how to proceed. Though I've created a number of ASP.NET applications, I've never done one that needs to communicate back and forth with another server. Nothing I tried seems to work.

Has anyone done anything like this? Can you offer some suggestions for the code and syntax needed for this page. Govolution is no help at all. No one on their staff knows anything about ASP.NET only PHP.

What sort of file, or response do you get back from the other site?
