:confused: Hi All

I have a vb.net class which does comm port communications.
What I am wanting to do with it is; Access the comm port on a client machine through an ASP.NET page. I know there probably are security issues here, but it will be for an intranet so it can be added to trusted sites, and have the security settings modified for it.

I have come across an example to embed the MSCOMM32.OCX in to the HTML of a page, this works and is similar to what I am wanting to do, but I would rather not have to use an Activex control.

Any help would be great.
Thanks
Mark
 
I believe an .hta page will get around the security issue. . . but how to generate a dynamic hta via asp.net, I don't know. . .

perhaps adding .hta to the file types in the IIS application config???
