Do you need to do this in a client's browser window from ASP in a server? In other words, are there two systems and one is a server and the other is a client? If so then it is probably not possible. I think you can use a click-once setup to allow a client system to download and execute the application. I am not sure of the details. Do you think that might work? Otherwise consider this a learning experience. Now you know why you need to learn other things such as Silverlight.

Silverlight based apps can run, i don't know about others.

Krishna Garad · Answer

on your question two scenarios are 1. Run windows app in browser 2 Run the windows app from browser. What kind of requirment you have? If you have requirment one then it's not possible because Browsers understand only http language means request and response can be done with http only and windows app's are not http based. If you have requrment two then means you want to run an existing windows app from your asp.net app it can be done with System.Dignostic.Process class take a look to this namespace.
