Web method to start a process

  1. Dear all,
    Is it possible to create a method to start an external process in a web service hosted by Discount ASP?

    I would like to start an executable file that is placed in a subdirectory of the application folder using System.Diagnostics.Process.Start.
    I wonder if that's possible and how to handle IIS security and policy issues, e.g. setting up the right permission for ASPNET user, using the IIS Manager discountasp.net.

    Thanks.
     
  2. Unfortunately this would not be possible since we do not allow executable files to be ran on the server for security reasons.
