How do I call a DLL on the client's PC

[Guest]

Greetings

I have a webform that I need to download a DLL to the client's PC and then call the DLL and pass it a value. I have looked everywhere but I can't find a good example

Any suggestions?

Ron

Ron,

You may want to consider a winform application running from internet explorer unless that is what you mean by webform. An ASP.Net webform is not going to download a DLL and run code form it very easily. What are you trying to accomplish?

Specifically what I want to do is automate WORD on the client PC that incorporated data from our server. I have a DLL that if you pass it a customer ID it gets the dat, creates a WORD document on the client PC and then prints it

Thank
