Thin client to thick client communication

Hello,
I have an application that consists of both thin client portions and
fat client portions.
One such view consists of a fat client treeview on the left, and a
thin client asp.net webapp on the right.
A user will fill out the webapp's form and click submit. This will
send the data to the DB. I need to know of a way for the treeview
control on the left to be notified when the user clicks submit and get
all the data that the user filled into the form's fields WITHOUT going
back to the DB for this information.
Essentially what I want to do is this...if the asp.net webform were a
fat winforms based section, I could just hook up to a click event on
the button and receive the data through a custom eventargs class. As
far as I know I can't do this in asp.net webapps...so how do I
subscribe to the "event" that tells me the user clicked "Submit" and
send along the data in the forms fields to the treeview?
Thanks very much,

thin client using ASP.net

Hello experts,

i read about thin client using Facado (http://www.nexusedge.com/products/products-facado-faq.htm) which is a rich, thin, Java J2EE solution... instead of "click n refresh" HTML, it works like a client-server application. so, the only data that goes back n forth between client n server are relevant data objects...

BUT i also read somewhere (maybe in msdn) under the topic "Application Design Guidelines: From N-Tier to .NET" that says...... "ASP.net Web controls allow building reusable browser GUI elements"...

so i just want to know...
- are these 2 description are similar one thing, that is a rich, thin, client.
- for the 2nd paragraph (.net) is it using the CLICKONCE deployment in visual studio?
- for .net, is there any online example of this type of application (thin client) that i can look for?

thank you very much!I am not an expert but a newbie, too.
However, if not misunderstood by me, you can use Javascript in your pages to do almost all the things that may run on clients.
yes. i'm currently using javascript

but i want to know about thin client like / similar to Facado.. is there any examples that i can try?
Hi,

my guess is that you mean "smart clients" and clickonce is, for as far as I know currently, a new feature in the .NET 2.0 framework that's shipping in 2005.

Smart clients could be winforms that are automatically updated but they can also be winforms controls that are embedded in your asp.net pages.

asp.net web controls provide a lot of things but they don't act like java applets like Facado (I only took a fast glimpse at it).

A link that give you a first impression of what I mean:Host Secure, Lightweight Client-Side Controls in Microsoft Internet Explorer.
