accessing server side exe's from asp.net

Question

Hi I have witten a couple of console exe's in C# that sit on my server that I want to call from my ASP.Net pages when I click on things like a web form button control. However it is not allowing me to call the exe ? Is this a secuirty issues or can I do it via web services and/or .net remoting ? If so does anyone know of the client server calls I would need to make ? Cheers S

I consider that is possible. You can make a absolute path to find your written console appliction and call it by System.Diagnostics.Process.Start method. I think the operation in server side  so that should not take into account secuirty. But how to make the parameters of System.Diagnostics.Process.Start mothed adapt to you Console application you should consult Micosoft MSDN.

Instead of having console exe's on the server could you convert your exe's to class libraries and then just call the methods from the ASP.NET pages?
