Question

I am doubt if something like this is possible with asp.net and an application running in the client side:

• the client opens a webpage in which an asp.net upload control is shown
• that page will also open an exe application
• the user will download it and selects a zip file
• the program will check the files in the zip file and probably will remove some invalid files
• the program will then compress the files into a new zip file
• I dont know whether after that process, the new zip file will be interact with the asp.net upload control?

I have heard that probably, if I make a java applet running on asp.net, java applet can verify the files inside a zip and then upload to the server, right?

Answer 1

It is not possible with asp.net but for Silverlight, it does
