.NET4.5

Hi,
I created a windows application using .net4.5.2 framework which contains the logic to save the uploaded image in their local machine.

Then i have created web application using MVC5 where i integrated my windows application as a setup.msi file and i am able to access it.

Now my problem is that i want to call a method from windows form when I click a button(say, Save button)in my web application using javaScript.

Thanks in advance!!!

create a seperate DLL that holds this intelligence. Add that DLL to both the winforms application as the website.

If I understand this correctly, you want JavaScript that execute a method inside a Windows Form application that is running on your local computer? This opens up a lot of security issues, you might want to rethink your solution.

No, you don't mix the two. What exactly are you trying to do?

I echo Digimanus's comment. If you have common logic you want to use in more than one place, put that in a dll. The method of saving the file to the users computer will be a bit different you will have to put code in your mvc app to download a file from your webserver or wherever the image is stored. Look into returning a FileResult in MVC for that.

I agree with the others who are pointing out security issues. If you explain more about what you are trying to do, perhaps we can give a different suggestion. The only thing I can think of that can kinda of connect a web site and a PC program is to create a PC program and publish using ClickOnce. There is a way to pass URL parms that way. See info here:
