This will execute exe only on Server not in Client System . Where do you want to execute the exe ?

IIRC, you cannot launch an interactive (visible) process from ASP.NET. It'll run (provided the ASP.NET account has enough permissions for the application to execute), but you won't see anything.

.i have put that exe in web application root , in that exe i will use Application.ExecutablePath as follows.

String actualfilePath = Application.ExecutablePath; //MessageBox.Show(actualfilePath); String filePath = actualfilePath.Substring(0,actualfilePath.LastIndexOf("\\")); StreamWriter swRecord = new StreamWriter(filePath + "\\MyTransaction.tmp", true); swRecord.WriteLine(record);

If possible check with exe source what exactly they are specifiying as filepath?

I didn't get your answer Confused | :confused:

How to create a site using rss where all the data can display in my site.

eg: using yahoo rss we get the link of all news, when we click on the link we navigate to yahoo site. I want to display the particular news or content in my site itself.

Have a look into this :
Insert Record using Gridview [^]
and
Use the GridView to insert a new record [^]

sir actually issue is this suppose i want to add first record to gridview from gridview itself(textboxs in footer row)then gridview is not visible because there is no record.how can we resolve this issue.

Abhijit Jana14-Oct-09 22:03

Did you read the first article link that I have provided to you.
Below is the some quoted text from that article,
"The first thing we need to consider here is that if there is no record in the GridView Datasource, it should display a Form to insert records, so we shall use EmptyDataTemplate to render the Insert form. That will look similar to picture below.

GridView with No Record....."

Please read that article.

Thank you !

There are a number of ways.

for a fewer values, if data is not confidential, I will suggest QueryString.
as a sample:

Response.Redirect("default.aspx?UserName=" + txtName.Text + "&UserType=" + UserType);

If data is huge, use cross page posting.

There are a lot other ways like using session, caching, cookies, storing to database, etc...
all of them is used in their respective scenario.

Hope this will help. For details, just google about state management in asp.net.
