open/refresh thick/thin client documents from VB.net app

hey folks…

we want to open and refresh thick/thin client documents from a VB.net application…

i can:

  • use opendocument.asp
    (link in VB.net directly calling opendocument.asp with servername hardcoded)

[or]

  • create a new .asp, place it in Webi server and call it from VB.net

Questions:

  • if i use opendocument.asp how does user authentication work? we have NT challenge set up for all users
  • which of the two methods is the best for our requirement?
