You need to clarify exactly what you want. Web pages don't "call" windows applications, especially user interfaces. What are you trying to do exactly, what is your application logging into? Why would your ASP need to "call" a windows form? Can't you replicate the functionality entirely in ASP?

Right, but... I answered. Isn't it obvious that even running of such application would not make any sense at all, in case of ASP.NET?

Hi RON
Thnks for your Comment.
In my window application i had a Eldap authentication Function its working fine in window based. In asp.net i cannot able to do my login page using eldap due to some setting problem in my network side. So what i am planning to do is for login page i want to access the window eldap function. This is my need. Provide your feedback.

You really need to fix the problem rather than try to work around it, doing what you are asking will create many, many more problems than just trying to do LDAP in ASP.

I hope by now you should understand that it would not make any sense, for any windowed application...

What is "calling an application"? It is not a method, function, procedure, subroutine, property or operator...

HI SA
Thanks for your comment.

I had a window application for accessing my eldap authentication for login. I can't able to achieve this in web application. So what i want is the eldap authentication which i am using in window should execute from web application.

I see. Please see other comments. I think you should finally close the issue of the "windows application". Will you accept my answer formally (green "Accept" button)? I'm afraid this will be the final answer; there are no options to use a window application.

You need to solve your root problem. If you need help, you should explain your ultimate goals and problems, without regards to window application or any other ideas you might be preoccupied with. And of course, it should be a separate question.

There is no such concept as "call an application". Please see the comments to the question.

But can you run it or use otherwise? Not in case the of ASP.NET. Do you even understand that this is the server-side Web technology? Okay, you would run some application, but who will see it, ever? A cleaning person walking between the rows of all those server's racks? They don't even have monitors. And it would simply hang the session, as nobody is going close that main window.

The question makes no sense at all, it is probably based on total lack of understanding of how Web works.

5'd, probably nailed it with a lack of understanding of how web apps work on the server side. Since IIS usually runs under its own account its very very rare that a UI is ever associated with it to begin with, I don't know of any admin that used the IIS service to log into windows...

Thank you, Ron.
"To begin with"... yes, of course, I just bring the most apparent absurdity. In fact, even the desktop itself is not available, or loaded very rarely and in some very unlikely cases.
