Hello,
I need to allow a web page to launch an interactive program on the web
server. For this example, I'd like to have the ASP.NET open notepad on the
asp server, so the current logged-in user can see it.
Here's the code I have implemented. Notepad starts, but is not visible on
the server desktop.
*************** *************
Dim commandPrompt As New System.Diagnost ics.Process
Dim ps As New System.Diagnost ics.ProcessStar tInfo("notepad. exe")
ps.UseShellExec ute = False
ps.RedirectStan dardInput = False
ps.RedirectStan dardOutput = False
ps.RedirectStan dardError = False
ps.WorkingDirec tory = "c:\"
ps.CreateNoWind ow = false
ps.WindowStyle = 3
Dim proc As System.Diagnost ics.Process = commandPrompt.S tart(ps)
*************** *************
Thanks for your help.

Why do you want this? The users of your asp.net application are going to be
sitting at their desk accessing your site. So this would not apply to them.
If the person logged into the server needs notepad, why are they browsing
to a site located on the same machine, instead of just running an executable
locally that can launch appropriate programs?

Normally a server is running without anyone attending it.
Therefore the default ASPNET user account does not have a desktop.
However, not all hope is lost.
Go into Administrative Tools, Services.
Right click on the WWW Service and select properties.
On the "Log On" tab you'll see a checkbox that says "Allow service to
interact with desktop".
Play around with these settings and you might be able to get it to work the
way you envision.

I am using this as a "push" to the machines in our intranet.
I need to launch applications on the client machines. I suppose there is a
better way to create a network stream on the client, listening for commands
from the server. I'm trying to use the Web server as an easy out.
Do you know of a .NET class I should be using? NetworkStream?

Hi Steve,
I've tried setting "Interact with desktop" for the www server, but that
didn't help.

I'm trying to us pylab to see what I'm doing with some DSP algorithms,
in case my posts about convolution and ffts weren't giving it away.
I've been using pylab's plot function, but I'm finding it a bit
cumbersome.
It works, but if I switch from the interactive window to the plot window
and back, the plot window gets trashed.

Using server-side code, how do I launch a new window? I have an ASP.Net
application that uses a frameset, yet I have some (crystal) reports I want

Thank you.
