Hi,

Im trying to open a UI based external application e.g. notepad.exe or calc.exe residing on the server from an web form(using C#/Asp). I use the following:

System.diagnostics.Process.Start().

The application does not come up(not visible) but it is running somewhere(I can see it in the Windows Task Manager in the processes tab). How can I bring it up(see it)? Will appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks
MA

You really can't. The process is going to run as the system (or network) account on the server. What are you actually trying to accomplish? If it's to make a calculator appear on the client, this will not work.
