Command Line parameters windows app hyperlink

I have not been able pass the parameter with a space in an hyperlink on a
..aspx page something like
<asp:HyperLink NavigateUrl="http://localhost/syskiosk/test.exe John"
id="hlEditDetails" runat="server">Edit Details </asp:HyperLink>

I need to know if it is possible to pass parameters to a windows .exe
application through a Hyperlink? If yes then what is the best way of doing
this.

I also tried to pass the parameter by using a ? in place of a space but then
the parameters inside the .exe had lot of junk attached to it and also the
application could not read the normal .config as it started look for a
different .config file dependent upon the parameter being passed. I can read
the command line parameters in a windows .net app when I pass them through
the cmd window but not through a Hyperlink.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Untested: Replace the " " between the path and the argument with "%32".
 
Hi Cor,

I am trying to place a hyperlink to a .net windows application placed on
the server so then clients can access it. We have a specific requirement to
display a windows forms based application when a user clicks on the link.
Everything works fine the only issue is that I am not able to pass
paremeters to it through a Hyperlink. I can pass parameters to it through
the command line. If there is an alternate way of doing this please let me
know.

Tarun.
 
Tarun,

When you look in the VisualBasic resource kit than you should be able to see
how Microsoft did it with that.

I think however that this will more and more be protected.

Cor
