If this is genuinely ASP.NET and VB.NET, then you basically can't, except in very, very limited circumstances.
The problem is that you can't run applications from Javascript code for security reasons, and if you run it from your C# / VB code then the applications would open at the server, not the client, so the user would never see them. So the changes would never be made, and the database would never be updated. It would probably seem to be working in development, where the client and the server are the same computer, but would fail massively in production.

If this isn't web based, but winforms, then its relatively simple - sort of - to do.
