how to control serial port of client in asp.net

[Adrian Chen]

please help me! I come across a problem.
Now I develop a finger print management system which is based on B/S.When
users click a button in the web pages, a device connected to the COM1 serial
port of the client machine starts to work.
Now I wrote the code which is in charge of serial communication in the
..aspx.cx pages, but then I found that when uses click the button, it is the
server's serial port that starts to work,not the clients!!

who can tell me how I could control the serial port communication in client
through asp.net?

I am very nervous about it now!

Thank you very much!!!

Create an ActiveX control that you install on the client and then host it in
your page.

Hi,

I think it makes more sense, from seveal POV, to develop a Smart Client
(WinForms) program for this, instead of a web client. Coding and
implementation will be much simpler -- and you can do the web browsing using
the Internet Browser control.
