Is it possible to start/stop an approval process externally?

Hi -

 

I'm trying to see if there is any documentation or if anyone has done this.  I have a custom object that will have an approval process tied to it.  We're designing some .NET pages to handle the front end of all of this, but the issue I have is that I need a user to be able to invoke, or start, the approval.  Is this possible?  Right now my workaround on paper is to have the page be the custom object's page, or even a VF page, and use an IFRAME for the .NET stuff, but that seems hacked at best.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

So in the API doc there are three Process methods, but all are query-able only.  Seriously, this isn't possible?
