Asp.Net Programming :: calling a clients local COM object


	calling a clients local COM object Hi all of the PC that will have access to the ASPX page have a COM object installed and using Codebehind I add a COM reference to it and I can call it like this: View.ViewSrv vs = new View.ViewSrv(); protected void Button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { vs.Refresh(); TextBody.Text = vs.GetView(); My Problem is that the codeBehind runs on the server so when I try it on a PC from a local IIS server I get an error as it cannot find the reference to View. So I need a way of connecting to the PCs local COM object and passing the results back to the Codebehind. I can access the COM object from VBScript or JavaScript but my CodeBehind is C# So how do you mix VBS and C# or can the code in the page be C# And how do you pass the information to say a textbox that is being used by the codebehind! sorry as you can guess I'm new to ASPX!!! You need to access the object from javascript and organize a sort of interace between the server and client side code.
