Execute an external application on the server

[Scott Sommerfeldt]

***I am very new to ASP.net***
I have a simple page that gets a users input and then executes an exteranl
application to create a support ticket in HEAT using the users input as
arguments
All I need to do is execute the application on the server with the arguments
provided by the web page this is what I have tried but unsuccessfully
Private Sub Submit1_ServerClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Submit1.ServerClick
Dim objProcess As System.Diagnostics.Process = New
System.Diagnostics.Process()
objProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "C:\externalApp.exe" 'Set the
Command File
objProcess.StartInfo.Arguments = TextBox1.Text
objProcess.Start()
End Sub

This code does not work, as the application is not executed.
Any Ideas?

Thanks,
Scott Sommerfeldt

Hi,

Its security issue. the default asp.net user is not allowed to activate
external applications.

Hmmm.
Thanks for you response
Is there anyway that you know of to change the security for just one
exeternal application or is it a all or nothing type of deal.
