ASP.NET

The best way to do this, IMO, is to put a transparent div over the whole screen, then position your content inside it. That way, the div gets the clicks. In fact, I suspect that's the only way. That's how the ASP.NET AJAX controls do it AFAIK.

No, it turns out that it's not urgent at all. At least, not for me.

Why do you need to run this exe to generate images ? Where do the images get generated ? How does the exe get run ?

res = new RemoteExecuteServer();
res.opt = "^^" + mProjectName + "^^" + mGraphName;
res.serverPath = Server.MapPath("APAMonitor_CL.exe");
res.Run();
now we run new thread like

public class RemoteExecuteServer : MarshalByRefObject
{
Process myProcess;
public String opt, serverPath, PID;
public void Run()
{
myProcess = new Process();
//ProcessStartInfo info = new ProcessStartInfo(path);
myProcess.StartInfo.FileName = serverPath;
myProcess.StartInfo.Arguments = opt;
myProcess.StartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = false;
myProcess.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
myProcess.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = serverPath.Replace("APAMonitor_CL.exe", "");
myProcess.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
myProcess.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
myProcess.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
myProcess.Start();
PID = Convert.ToString(myProcess.Id);

myProcess.WaitForExit();
}
public void ClosePro()
{
myProcess.Close();
}
}

the same thing is working on localhost but not working on clientside
is there any authentication problem on client side.......

Well, there are many questions here.

1 - how do you use these image, once they've been created on the server ?
2 - what happens if more than one person is using the site at the same time ?
3 - how does the user get to see these images, it's surely on a later page to the one they are viewing ?

aftere generating images we are attaching the images to image control.
and then show to the user.but on running the exe the images are not generating at all at server in the specified folder.i m thinking that any pemission is needed which is not available.

OK, the whole thing sounds messy to me. Certainly your code is more than a little dodgy, IMO. However, overall, if the images are not there, then yes, it's bound to be a permissions issue. Why do you need to spawn a seperate process, why can't you just have the code run inside your web app ?

Do you own the server ? If not, you're out of luck. What you're doing, seems dumb to me. Like I said, if you need to process images, import the code into your web app. I assume you own the server tho, if you can watch the app running. So, write some debug code to work out what is going wrong, I'd guess it's going to be folder permissions.

I'm sorry. I'm not sure how else to say it. I think what you're doing is stupid. I think your code is messy. I think this is just overall a bad idea. I would never consider doing anything like this. For all these reasons, I have no idea what the specific problem is. I think you need to import the code into your project, or at a minimum, add some debug code to the exe you're using to find out what the error is. If it's a third party exe, I'd say you're well and truly out of luck.
