I have an ASP.NET Web App that generating some files in realtime and it does
a bunch of other processing stuff. The user then will launch a desktop
Windows App to print the files that were generated from the ASP.NET Web App.
According to my research I have to either use activex or there is not way to
automatically download some files from the Web App to the user local machine.
(I'm told Activex is out of the question.)
I then decided to pull the files from the server. I've used the WebClient
and there is a DownloadFile method which allows me to download files from the
server to the local machine programmatically without user interaction.
However, the file name is dynamic and generated in realtime.
Is there a way that I can at least transfer or pass a string or variable
from the ASP.NET to the Windows App or vice versa?
Any suggestions is welcome. I really need a solution quick. Thank you!
