I am working on a legacy application written in Classic ASP with VB6 COM+ components running on Windows 2003 Adv Server (32bit). There is one page in the app that uses Secure FTP to send a file to another application server upon a certain type of data change.
Anonymous user posts the form - ASP code instantiates the COM+ component which is starting using a Domain User -Calls a method that creates the comma delimited data file and then calls the SFTP method.
i'd like to know if it is possible with asp to launch a local application (exe file like word or any else).
View Replies View RelatedI'd like to launch an executable file from a web page. Basically, the user
enters seven parameters and then clicks a button to generate a graph. The
input is written to a file and then read by the exe. The exe then generates
a graph based upon the input parameters.
I am reading about the Process class and wondering if that is the best
approach to this. Can you recommend a KB article?
my questions are
1. How do I execute a program using asp (any scripting language), without the user taking any action.
2. To close the program (written in VB6) do I include something in the program itself, or do I close it w/ asp?
I am deploying many ASP apps and many of them are onto client internal
servers. I was wondering if there was an option to compile my entire ASP
project into an installation executable for easy deployment?
I am test developing an internal webserver, on Windows XP, and IIS 5.1, with
ASP and MySQL.
One specific page is created from user input and database records in
previous pages and presents a page with customised data and a webform. It
then takes input from the form and session variables and passes these to an
vb exe in the the wwwroot using the from
http://localhost/example.exe?testparameters. The vb exe takes the command
line parameter input and does its thing and it all works, but I am aware
this is a very insecure way of doing this and I implemented this only as a
quick workaround so I could test implement it all then refine it for
deployment.
My question is, what is the best way for input to be passed from a web form
to an vb executable for it to do its thing. The exe will eventually
preferably run as a service, or at least all ways be active on the server,
and not starting for every request then ending, as I was hoping to allow for
sorting and queueing of requests passed to the exe, before they are
executed. Code:
If I allow people to upload GIF or JPG files on my site, is there a technical possibility to upload an executable file disguised as gif or jpg and execute it on my server?

i am using frontpage 2003. I have an image that I have sliced in Photoshop, saved as an html and opened it with FP2K3. What I would like to do is find a way to add a .cmd or .exe or .bat file to a section of the html code. Can this be done?
What I am trying to do is pick either a hotspot or hyperlink and embedd the executable, so that when picked it runs. all it is really doing is rdp'ing to a session on the server.
I am attempting to have an asp page call a batch file. I had it working, I was high on life and then I decided to log off the server. Once I did, the code would no longer work. When I logged back onto the server, I saw:
'The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142). Click on OK to terminate the application.' Code:

View Replies View RelatedI am running a project in which i use a web application writen in ASP to create some quizes, then i would like to call a compilor (dll) to compile the data i created and change it to .mms file in order to be able to send it to mobile device.
Can you please guide me on how to call the dll file from my ASP application?
I have created an Active Server Component (ASC) as a bridge between ASP and my existing C++ DLLs that we use in our PC-based program. Our intent is to re-use as much code as possible.
when I call the ASC from ASP, and then call the DLL, the security profile that is specified in IIS is no longer associated with the process, and therefore, any "network-related" calls fail due to insufficient privileges.
I don't know if there is "another" way to call the DLL from the ASC or not, or any way tospecifically load a DLL with a certain security profile.
i am calling an exe from asp program. Its not working fine. When i execute the exe through the dos program directly i get the desired result. My exe will convert files in the folder to encrypted files.
But when i call it thru asp program its not working fine. I have tried the
following method.
a) Calling the exe through shell program.
b) Calling the exe through ASPEXEC.
c) Calling the exe through the Batch Files.
I would like to know your suggestions.
Here's a problem I can't solve.
Let n sub procedures A1, ... An

sub An()

This doesn't work. Is there a way to solve this problem ?
i've got two pages. they have the same name for two sub procedures that do pretty much the same thing and have the same number and types of arguments. i either run one page, the other page or both. when i run page1 it somehow is accessing page2 even if it isn't called with an include statement.
page 1 is using the sub with the same name from another page even if it isn't included. so what's going on? is that normal? should i just make one page instead of 2? didn't think that sub's could jump accross pages that weren't included, but i could be wrong.
Where's the best place for me to include all my functions that I want to call throughout different pages? Should I just put them all in one ASP file and include that page on every page? Or use global.asa somehow (how??)?
Anyways, I was just wondering because I didn't want to slow things down if I could help it (I didn't know if having another big file attached to every page when I'm just using a small portion of it was very effective or not)
in my serverside vbscript I have:
call MySub();

then in the <Head>section I have:

Anybody any ideas?
I want to create tables in my database programatically. I know i can do it using adodb connection object. I have too many tables, views and stored procedures. If I have to write a code, I will have to write 1000 lines of code. I dont think, thats the best way to do it.
I already have a sql script for these tables, views and stored procedures. I want to know if i can execute that sql script directly from ASP.
I will explain the background, to give a better understanding of my situation. We have a website, which uses the existing database to generate reports. If we want to host that website (as a service) to third parties, we create a new database for every customer, create all the necessary tables, views and stored procedures in the new database. I want to make all the table creation programmatic. Is it possible?

What I want is that when a user clicks the button it calls a serverside sub that inserts additional rows from an other table of my database.

View Replies View RelatedI have an application using asp and javascript. The javascript collects data and then needs to pass it to asp to store in the database. The way the original application was developed, all the data gets captured into a javascript array of records (similar to a recordset) and then each record in the array needs to go to the database. Currently I loop through the js array and open an asp window that writes to the DB then closes. This works but I get a flicker affect as this happens for each record. I'm looking for a better way to handle this - either to be able to send my entire js array of objects to ASP (don't know how to do this) or a way to invoke the asp code without opening then closing a new window everytime.YI - I recently posted a thread called "asp & javascript" that had some code snippets of what I'm currently doing.
