If you're already using WebRun, what's the question? If you've got questions specifically about the functionality of WebRun, contact those people about them. It's their product you're using and they support it.

Hello.

This is how I would do this. It is fairly simple and works well.

First you need to write a console app or what ever to register an application to a URI scheme. This can be part of your installation program (I guess this is what WebRunApp does).

For example this is how you would register notepad:

C#

var key = Registry.ClassesRoot.CreateSubKey("customProtocol", RegistryKeyPermissionCheck.ReadWriteSubTree);
 key.SetValue(string.Empty, "URL:customProtocol Protocol");
 key.SetValue("URL Protocol", string.Empty);

 key = key.CreateSubKey(@"shell\open\command");
 string exe = @"c:\windows\system32\notepad.exe";
 key.SetValue(string.Empty, exe + " " + "%1");

Once this is done you can use that in a webpage, here is an example firing up notepad and your email client:

XML

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<a href="mailto:">Click here to mail</a>
<br/>
<a href="customProtocol:">Click here for notepad</a>
</body>
</html>

It's that simple. Enjoy :)

Valery.
