Hello,

I need to call the exe of an application on client side from a Asp.Net Web Site, to a any browser.

Can someone help me please?

What I have tried:

I'm searching about it and have found some solutions using Activex, but this option doens't solve totally the problem in all browsers how Google Chrome, Firefox, for example.

Your considerations shown in "What I have tried" are correct, but you should make right conclusions: this is the problem which you should not attempt to solve. From the standpoint of Web conceptions and W3 standard, it would be totally illegitimate "feature".

Main reason for that is safety and security. Imagine for a second that you could solve this problem. It would mean that the authors of the Web site would get a tool which would allow to start any application on the client side, without the user's consent, and the user would not have any tool to prevent it.

As to ActiveX, better don't even play with the idea of using it. For some security-savvy users it would be a good reason to blacklist the site using such dirty tricks.
