You're in the
dotnet distributed apps
group:Simple Rich Client Question
dotnet distributed apps:
(document routing). Most apps utilize email to notify users that action is required. For example, an email may contain the following link that directs the user to an approval web page: DocumentApprovalPage.aspx?ID=123 I would like to start developing apps using rich clients (Windows Forms). MY QUESTION How do I use an email to launch a Windows application? Does the application need to live on a web server? Seems to me this would be a common task, but I can't find the answer!
Today you can use No-Touch Deployment to run a rich client application via a
link on a web page. When Visual Studio 2005 is released this technique will be replaced by Click Once.

Roger, thanks for the reply...
What I need to know is how to open and pass parameters to a windows application from an email. I’m assuming this is a common task among developers with web apps. I use it all the time in workflow apps. The web app generates an email that contains a URL with querystring parameters, which will direct the user to a specific page displaying specific data. Any suggestions? [quoted text, click to view] "Rob Windsor [MVP]" wrote:
