HI,

I have windows application exe file which is located in server machine inside web appication folder. When I click the link button in gridview of web browser, then windows form exe file must be opened.

Below is the code:
if (e.CommandName == "EditRow")
{
System.Diagnostics.Process RunProcess = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
RunProcess.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
RunProcess.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
RunProcess.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = Request.MapPath("~/Folder/");
RunProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "Application.exe";
RunProcess.StartInfo.Arguments = "MyArgument";
RunProcess.Start();
}

It is running successfully in localhost, but not working in client machine through server. Please help me on this.

Thanks

Solution 1

C#

function Launch() {
var launcher = new ActiveXObject("Shell.Application");
launcher.ShellExecute("where_is_your_exe\\file.exe", "<%=userId%>", "", "open", "1");
}

and also change the security configuration in explorer to run activeX.
