Hi all,

i need to call a program to run through webservices. i.e. i would need a
webmethod to invoke the program to start.

i'd tried System.Diagnostics.Process.Start. In the end, i get the program
shown in the task manager processes but i don't see the program loading. i.e.
i don't physically see the win form load.

Can anyone advice me on this ? Thanks.

ASP.NET runs on behalf of the ASP.NET user. There is no interactive desktop
for this user, no WinStation.
In other words. .... No. You cannot do what you are describing.
