I want to develop asp.net application then can send data to ESP8266 which will be act as to show that message. What I have done, I have fully function Esp8266 board which show Ip address it is connect and any message which can be send from this web page which is coded with it.
here is the code
// Use the MD_MAX72XX library to scroll text on the display
// received through the ESP8266 WiFi interface.
//
// Demonstrates the use of the callback function to control what
// is scrolled on the display text. User can enter text through
// a web browser and this will display as a scrolling message on
// the display.
//
// IP address for the ESP8266 is displayed on the scrolling display
// after startup initialization and connected to the WiFi network.
//
// Connections for ESP8266 hardware SPI are:
// Vcc 3v3 LED matrices seem to work at 3.3V
// GND GND GND
// DIN D7 HSPID or HMOSI
// CS or LD D8 HSPICS or HCS
// CLK D5 CLK or HCLK

upto here every thing is fine,
board showing this ip 192.168.43.133 I have created asp.net web form application ,

<br>
<input type="submit" value="Send Text" onclick="SendText()"></body></html>
in this case board show nothing,
but when I paste ip of board in browser and then click on send text button , board start showing message?
What I can do connect these two, and can show any message from my application?
