Client Side Access to Registry

Hi,

How can I get some key values from my ASP.NET residing on client machine but
running from my web server?

Thanks,

Yama

You can't - that's a security hazzard. You'll need to load some type of
client application to read the registry - and even if you do, you'll need
the security permissions to do so.

Hi Yama,

You would have to use an ActiveX control or similar technology to access
this information on the client.

Hello,

Thanks for the replies. I actually do have a Software Application that is
installed on client machine that calls a web application on my server.

Hence how could I retrieve information from the local machine registry
folder where some settings of my application is installed.

Should my win. apps send the information via header or can I actually do
something that will give me access permission to a folder in the local
machine.

Thanks,

Yama

Yama,

That depends on what kind of software you are using on the client. It
would not be an ASP.NET issue.

Hi, The reason is that my application does about 16 connects and data transfers per second, to the same 16 remote hosts.

At this point is seems that connect loops and starts using the same local addresses it used 4000 connections ago, resulting in an "Address already in use" exception. A possible solution to this would be to keep the connection to...
