Not natively - imagine if you could run format c: from behind a button... :-) OK, that's a bit of an extreme example, but you get the idea... :-) You could use something like WSH (or a bespoke ActiveX control) for this, but you would also reduce your browser security settings... Obviously this would limit you to IE, so no use at all for a public website... -- Mark Rae ASP.NET MVP http://www.markrae.net
Hello,
Can I call, run, a windows application from my web application when the user fires a certain event ? Thank You.
Thank you for your reply but I have no idea what WSH is.

Use System.Diagnostics.Process.Start()
The executable will run as the ASP.NET account, so the ASP.NET account will need whichever permissions the process needs. Juan T.

re:
!> I interpreted the OP as wanting to run a Windows app client-side... I wish him good luck with that chore if that what he wants. An ActiveX object would be the first thing to try but I, like you, discourage their use given the security issues. Users have to approve the installation of any ActiveX object ....and that is enough to cause problems. The whole idea of the .Net Framework is *not* to do client-side processing, except for UI actions and notifications which use Javascript, for which Ajax is the ideal vehicle, although it will *not* run executables client-side either.

It is an intranet application. Browser security issues can be arranged with
the customer. So, how can I accomplish the required task with Active X, WSH or any other way.

Yes, I want to run a Windows app on client-side...
I have created a test web site consists of one page and here is its code : protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { System.Diagnostics.Process p = new System.Diagnostics.Process(); p = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("IExplore.exe"); } It is not working and no exception appears ..!!

Here is what I'm trying to do. Calling this windows application,
Archiving.exe, on the client side .... protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { System.Diagnostics.Process p = new System.Diagnostics.Process(); p = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(@"C:\Program Files\The Pen IT\Archiving System\Archiving.exe"); } [quoted text, click to view] "Mark Rae [MVP]" <mark@markNOSPAMrae.net> wrote in message news:%23GkFATE1HHA.4816@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > "Tamer Ibrahim" <camel75eg@yahoo.co.uk> wrote in message > news:udDB3LE1HHA.728@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > >> Yes, I want to run a Windows app on client-side... > > That's what I thought, though you didn't specify that in your original > post... > >> It is not working and no exception appears ..!! > > It won't work, because it is trying to run Internet Explorer on your > webserver... > > Can you please explain *precisely* what you're trying to do here... > > > -- > Mark Rae > ASP.NET MVP > http://www.markrae.net
