Dumb Q: How to access clients' local file system

[michael_hk]

Hi guys,

 

I am classic ASPer and I know very little about ASP.NET.

 

I know I need to use ActiveX stuff to access web clients' hard disk, but how to do the same thing with .NET?

 

Thanks.

Michael

Thanks for your reply eramgarden, but that's not what I need.

 

I want to access client's local resources, like registry, harddisk. I know it can be done with ActiveX control, but not sure what to use in .NET. :confused: :confused:

You can still using ActiveX control like what you use previously, because ASP.NET still run in browser, client side process is nothing to do with server side languages.

 

In .NET environment, you can use "Windows Control Library", it is similar to ActiveX control in VB6, but the big issue is, the client side need to has .NET Framework in their pc, so I think it is not practical at the moment
