How to open a window form ?

[paulnamroud]

Hi all,

I have a main application developped with VB.net. And the dashboard is developped with asp.net.

From the dashboard i would like to click and get the detail information by opening the VB.net window form.

Can anymone tell me how to open a window form from asp.net page and send some parameters ?

I need to open it either by clicking on a button or by clicking an hyperlink.

Thank you

Paul

I know this may not anwser your question completely but I have a program that will take information from VB.net to and ASP page using XML files.

You can create a link to the debug file or .exe file.

such as:

<a href="file:\\servername\pathtoflile\c:\program files\program.exe" style="color:Blue">Click Here</a>

to get the debug file, go to your visual studio folder
Visual studio 2008\projects\" your program"\"your program"\bin\de bug\"the form you want"

If this isn't clear just send me a message and I can help you walk through it.

You can't really do this without using ActiveX, which is not advisable.

I would recommend creating a class library that can be used in both the desktop application and web application. This would provide the same functionality to both environments.
