Display html on another computer instead of local computer

[Lionel Neo]

I have a datagrid that whenever a user click the link button,the system
will go to the database retrieve the url path and display the particular
HTML page on another computer instead of local computer itself.So how am
i going to implement that in Vb.net.This is my sample code of displaying
on local machine.My problem is i need to display on another computer
instead of local computer.i have no ideal how to do it.Anyone can help
me.Thank in advance


Dim strPath As String
Dim i As Integer

Select Case e.CommandName
Case "ViewHTML"
i = e.Item.ItemIndex
Dim DownDs As New DataSet
DownDs = Session("dsPresentation")
If Not DownDs Is Nothing Then
strPath = DownDs.Tables(0).Rows(i)("FOLE_PATH")
strPath = strPath.Replace("\", "/")
'IP Address is 172.20.129.7
'Response.RedirectLocation("")
Me.RegisterStartupScript("Page", "<Script
Language=javascript>window.open('" & strPath & "','show')</script>")
End If
End Select

Interesting behavior. Internet applications cannot directly do something to
clients unless the clients send a request to do something to the server. So
the second part of your process is not supported by asp.net in any way. At
least not directly. How would you know that client computer has a running
session of IE? How would you know which client to change view while asp.net
apps are widely available to many clients?

The simplest way you could do is that the client page that should have this
kind of a behavior (changes upon other user actions) should expire in some
short amount of time and in that way it would request itself again from the
server. If something else has happened between requests (in your example
another user did something in some datagrid) and that action/info is shared
with other users it should apropriately adjust display of the requested page
or redirect to another one.

But this aproach may not be suitable for your needs. If not, you should
probably make a Win app instead of web app. If updating is a problem you
could use Updater Application Block so user apps would update themselves on
the fly.

This is the most simple way. Maybe someone else will give another possible
solution which could be more complicated.
