Accessing a WebService( execute file .exe)

[PeterSC]

Hi everybody!

How should I write a WebService in C# (with Visual Studio.NET), which servers to execute or launch a program or file .exe. And how should I access since ASP.NET WebApplication (in C#) at this WebService.

This code doesn´t function:

[WebMethod()]

public void start()
{
System.Process.Star("C:\\psc.bat"
}

Thanks for all.

Hi Peter,

Could you explain a bit more what the web service is supposed to do? Also, the second question you had: did you mean how would your asp.net application access your web service?

Oh, I also found this article I thought you might be interested in:

Hi!
I have a ASP.NET WebApplication which has a buttom, when I make Click on it I want that it access to my WebService, which it executes a .exe file in the sever. For example

[WebMethod()]
public void Start()
{
System.Process.Start("Notepad.exe"
}

This code is invalid and I don´t why?

[PeterSC]
