run .exe from IE using ASP.NET

[Loane Sharp]

Hi there

I have a module writen in VB.NET compiled using vbc as sync.exe.

If I point IE to http://localhost/sync.exe the Windows Form loads perfectly.

But I don't get the same if, from within ASP.NET code, I run the following ~

Dim ass As Assembly = Assembly.LoadFrom("C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\sync.exe")

The form evidently loads into memory but it doesn't show on screen.

Please help
Best regards
Loane

Hi Loane:

The ASP.NET process doesn't have a desktop to display the UI. Do you
really want the program to be running on the server?
