ASP.NET ActiveX

I need to verify something. I have an ASP.NET Web Applications that needs to
call a local VB.NET application. From my understanding I need to use Active
X to do so. Is there any other way considering purely .NET. Also any
articles using these technologies would be appreciated.

If it's a VB.Net Windows Form, you can embed it in an ASP.Net web page.

Yes, this can be done using Windows Forms controls.
Here's the information you need:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/is...h/default.aspx

ActiveX controls for the web are on thier way out because the security
settings just aren't very flexible.

Thanks all,

The entire application is online or rather an intraNet. But I need to
initiate the local application from within one of the aspx pages. We are
running a local print application that is taking data from the datagrid
(from the users perspective) and passing it to a local application. The
local application is actually calling a web service to retrieve the records
to print that the web application has marked for print. Then the local print
app, updates the database through a web service and when you then view the
datagrid, it will show those records as printed.

TIA,

Steve

Hi Steve,

Firstly I want to thank Kevin and Steve for their great help in this issue.

As I understand, you want to start an application/process in your web
application.

If you want to do it on the server side, we can use the Process class.

Process Class
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...us/cpref/html/
frlrfsystemdiagnosticsprocessclasstopic.asp
"...
Provides access to local and remote processes and enables you to start and
stop local system processes.
..."

If you want to do it on the client side, we can use the Shell.Exec.

Driving Applications
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...us/script56/ht
ml/wscondrivingapplications.asp
"...
Spawning Programs with Shell.Exec Command
..."

Does it answer your question? If I have misunderstood your concern, please
feel free to let me know.
