I'm not sure that this is an ASP.NET specific Q, but wonder whether
there's any feature of .NET that might help.
Like many, we're moving to web based apps using a std 3 tier
architecture. However, some of our apps have no usable web front end.
One in particular is a VB app running on a local user's PC (I'm talking
about a secure intranet (100% Internet explorer on Win2K pro) here, not
the Internet) Clearly it runs by having some sort of executable run
when the user clicks an icon on their desktop.
Is there anyway of integrating a link to that app from our existing web
apps. I haven't tried, but am assuming that just adding a link to the
executable would cause IE to offer to download or run the file. That
option (I can see why it's there) might (will!) confuse some users.
If there is any solution to the above, could the app "appear to run" in
a frame of the web app?
To be honest, I'm expecting negative responses to these questions, but
am willing to be surprised!
Thanks.
