Run executable from C# .Net
Zone:
C# Programming Language
Tags:
run, executable
This is an intranet application, so all execute permissions are granted. I need to run a 3rd party application from a page on the site that I'm developing. I'd like to be able to run either locally on the client or on the server. I've seen solutions for ASP (WScript) and VB.Net (Shell), but how do you do this in C#?
Thanks
Thanks

I decided to try doing this using VB's Shell. So why does this code not open the calculator? I verified the path to the exe by running this from a command line. Would also like to know the answer to the C# solution. Will create another question for this an award points if someone has a solution.

Also, for more control you can use :
using System.Diagnostics;
//Create process
Process meProc = new Process();
meProc.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\Windows\system32\calc.exe";
//meProc.StartInfo.Arguments = "";
//Some other useful options if you want to capture the output to process in your app, good for command line apps
//meProc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
//meProc.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
//meProc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardE
//meProc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardO
meProc.Start();
//Capture output/errors
//string stderr = meProc.StandardError.ReadToEnd();
//string stdout = meProc.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
//Can use this to halt your code till the 3rd party app finishes
//meProc.WaitForExit();

Where will this run? Where the IIS server is hosted or on the client's machine? Thanks.
| 03.09.2004 at 06:11AM PST, ID: 10550214 |
ASP(ASP or ASP.NET) is all server side, so any code will be run on the server only. If you want it run on the client, you'll need the ASP to generatae vb/jscript (but this will have permission/security problems) or an activeX control.
Think you'll have trouble getting applications to run on a persons computer through the web browser, since its obviously a huge security problem.

This code uses JS to run an application on a client side (windows).
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript" LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
var shell = new ActiveXObject("Shell.Application");
var command = "C:\\windows\\Notepad.exe";
shell.ShellExecute(command, "", "", "open", "1");
</SCRIPT>
If you write that out into the HTML, it will open up notepad when the user views the page.

Very cool. I will test this later this evening (in the middle of preparing for a meeting) and award points tonight if it all works.
REALLY appreciate the help Clyde.

Here's the entire contents of my .htm file. When I open this file in the browser, nothing happens. I have also tried the file extensions .asp and .aspx. I've double checked the IIS settings on the application. Execute and write permissions are allowed. What else should I check? What could be wrong? Thanks.

FYI - I'm not trying to sabotage anyone's machine.
This is for an intranet application that I'm writing for a client - they archive boxes in a warehouse. There is a 3rd party application that they use to upload files from a scanning device. Those files then need to be imported into the DB behind the application that I'm writing. I just want to be able to start that application from (say) a button click versus making the user go outside the application to bring it up.

I presume your windows is actually installed in c:\windows, not c:\winnt? Sorry if thats a bit simple :)
Also, put the <script> tags inside the Head or Body of the HTML, not right at the top.

OK, my browser was preventing the execution. I relaxed the security on the intranet site and now it works. Really appreciate your help.

You do realise that you will need to change the security settings for every browser on your network viewing your Intranet?

This can be accomplished through a Windows 2000 group policy easily enough.
