Hi frnds,

I have a doubt regarding web application(VS 2012). In windows applications, there is possibility to open a file using the exe(ie, by right clicking the file(eg .txt file) and open with this application). In this way we can open any file in our windows application.

Is there any way to do this with ASP.Net web application ?
ie, I want to open a file in the web application by right clicking on the file and choose "Open with.."

Tanks in advance..

Just think about it: where does your local application run? And where does your Web Application run? And what about security: would you like that some application running somewhere on a server in the web could simply access any file on your computer?
So, the answer is: you cannot do so. Fortunately!
