Windows forms controls in WebForms

[Gustavo]

Hi,
We are placing Windows Controls inside webforms for a project that needs to
interact with files from a local computer.

What would be the best way to make the following work:

When a user clicks on a WebGrid Item (from Infragistics NetAdvantage
actually), we need to automatically compare the WebServer File with the
user's Local File.

Is it possible to pass data from a webcontrol to a windows control through
Javascript or something like that.

yup, it's possible but you get into CAS permissions and deployment issues
that you need to be aware of. Write the application as a windows forms
first. Getting working correctly and then embed it in the web page. I have a
few articles on that sort of thing on msdn that you can look at:
