re:

I wish him good luck with that chore if that what he wants.
An ActiveX object would be the first thing to try but I,
like you, discourage their use given the security issues.
Users have to approve the installation of any ActiveX object
....and that is enough to cause problems.
The whole idea of the .Net Framework is *not* to do client-side processing,
except for UI actions and notifications which use Javascript, for which Ajax
is the ideal vehicle, although it will *not* run executables client-side either.
