I have a web app that needs to parse through a file that is located on the
client machine. I get the file string from a query string & then parse it.
It is working fine on my development box but when I put it out on the test
server the application is looking for the file on the server & not on the
client machine.
I am essentially taking the query string & using a stream reader to read the
file.
I'm sure i'm doing something whacky...so PLEASE set me straight!

You could also write your own desktop app that wraps around
the Web Browser control. You can use windows code to react to
events that occured in the browser.

news:07******** *************** ***********@mic rosoft.com... Thanks for the info robbe... ya..i am ending up having to write a local
app
that will just send the file to a webservice & the local app will spawn
the
web page.
Thanks for the thoughts.

The browser is always going to be a problem for you.
You should probably consider writing a .NET windows service to install
on their PCs. It would use a SystemFileWatch er to sit and wait
on new files being created by this other application. Upon
receiving the event, your windows service could upload
the file to your web site and pass the machine name or
even the windows id associated with the file.
You'll need to give some thought as to the way you
want to associate your web site user accounts with the
upload files from your service. 99.9% of the time, the
local file should be uploaded to your web server prior
to the user ever logging onto the web site.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
