Creating files on Client side

[Tanmaya Kulkarni]

Hi,

Since C# / VB.Net code executes on the server, all the path given during
file creation point to physical path on server.

Is there some mechanism where were can create text files on the client. I
want these files to be different for each client.

TIA,
Tanmaya

Given the correct permissions, client-side JavaScript can create text
files on the client.

However, I would really think that over: Do you really want to save
something on your user's PC? I would rather advise against that.

I would either use cookies

or save the files on the server, using a SessionID or any other
mechanism (username/password) to save user-specific files.

HTH,

Yes, research WSH - Windows Script Host.
