Can I run windows database application online?

[Guest]

In the book, I read that we can call a C# exe from Internet Explorer. I tried
with a small program. It worked. But when I tried with a database program,
which works when I call it directly. It didn't work. I got an IO exception. I
guess it is because the application has to access SEL server. But it is
regarded as external program when called from IE so that it does not work(I
might be wrong). So my question is that: Is it possible to run database
application throught internet? If yes, how to access the SQL server?

Thanks,

Kai

Karl,

When you execute an application that is accessed from a site (not the
local machine), it runs with a different security policy, one which is
probably prohibiting the database from establishing its connections. You
will have to go to the .NET Framework administration tool and change the
security policy for your app so that it has the permissions it needs to run.

Hope this helps.
