friend , still its condition that if you want to run chess on local another computer then chessClient.exe should be there on local computer as you have noted down someday the pc games we play on network are installed on all the computer who participate in game .Like that scenario you also have to do that thing and Service is Used to transfer databetween tow ChessServer and ChessClient movement data.

hi kirtan.. thnk u very much for the explanation. i hv marked the answer as accepted answer. nw i can load my chess application in my working machine. According to wt u said , does it can't load by another computer that networked to my machine. (my chess game should validate clients movements. the game instance it self pass movements by masseges to the server) therefore can u pls tell another way to doing this with my existing application rather than develop java applet or another. thank u again. pls reply .

my friend , Client Computer Who is Accessing your chess through web having only Browser interface and due to limitation that it can't to load Windows Application . Microsoft Introduced New Technology Called Silverlight that can able to Run on Browser so if you want to run that chess on Browser it need to be developed in Eaitherin Silverlight or java Applet Like Platform that is Runnable on Browser :) Happy Coding :)

hi kirtan, the chess program should be in server machine. when client can move pieces and submit it. then server validate the movements . therefore it can't keep client machine as chess.exe. thanks

Hi , For that you can call Method As i Told before but Your Chess's Exe Files and all Should be There on Client Machine ar Specific path as you can see " notepad.exe" is there on every windows computer so Everyone's Computer will Open notepad when clicking your Button
