is is possible to run an exe application from IIS server.
i have developed a VB application that creates charts and
displays it in a form. is there any way i can run this
exe from my ASP page..
As i told you earlier, all you have to do is register the exe on the server using the regserver command, and you can access the exe from your asp.,say for example i registered a exe called myexe. It has class like clsx and clsx has a function called add. in my asp code in order to use the exe i do something like this:
<%
Dim myobj
Dim myresult
Set myobj = Server.CreateObject("myexe.clsx")
'reference to that class in myexe
You can try using the free AspExec component from ServerObjects.com if you want to run executables or coimmand-line applications remotely through ASP pages.
You may use Process.Start to start an EXE from an ASP.NET application, but the EXE will run on the Web server; the user will not see the app in his or her browser.
I don't know of any way to take an existing Windows application and automatically turn it into a Web application. In general, you must rewrite the UI code to display HTML in the user's browser; you may, however, be able to reuse the non-UI code in the Web app.
