dotnet distributed apps: I am trying to instantiate a windows form from a webform.
I have a command button on my web form with the following
code in the on_click.

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object,
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

Dim frmTemp As Form
Dim SimpAsm As [Assembly]

SimpAsm = [Assembly].LoadFrom
("http://jgrundy1/autodeploy/ClassLibrary1.dll")
frmTemp = CType(SimpAsm.CreateInstance
("ClassLibrary1.form1"), Form)
frmTemp.Show()

End Sub

When the 'loadfrom' tries to execute I get the following
error:

"HTTP download of assemblies has been disabled for this
appdomain."

How do I enable download of assemblies?

Hi Jeff,

Your code is in codebehind, and will be run on the web server. Normally,
ASP.NET server side code cannot have any user interface and cannot show a
window form yet.

Yes Luke, you are right. The codebehind executes on the
server. I don't know what I was thinking.

If I use this on the html side and it works like
expected. "<A
HREF="http://jgrundy1/AutoDeploy/FlatFileCleaner.exe">Flat
File Cleaner</A>"

I click the link and the app is started on the client.
Thanks
