I run a web hosting service and allow clients to host their web sites on our servers. Our IIS 5 server has the .NET Framework installed (1.1).<br />
<br />
I wanted &nbsp;to know the concerns I should have when allowing clients to place .aspx and Delphi .DLLs on the server in their web folder? &nbsp;What damage can a combination of .aspx and Delphi .DLL do? If the web folder is on drive W, can a aspx/dll combo access files on drive C? Is there anything to stop such files from deleting files that do not belong to the customer or from retrieving data on another drive or another parent folder or Registry?<br />

Thanks.

How dangerous are ASPX and DLLs on a web server?

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

The successor to Active Server Pages, ASP.NET websites utilize the .NET framework to produce dynamic, data and content-driven web applications and services. ASP.NET code can be written using any .NET supported language. As of 2009, ASP.NET can also apply the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern to web applications

ASP.NET

Delphi is the most powerful Object Pascal IDE and component library for cross-platform Native App Development with flexible Cloud services and broad IoT connectivity. It provides powerful VCL controls for Windows 10 and enables FMX development for Windows, Mac and Mobile. Delphi is your choice for ultrafast Enterprise Strong Development™. Look for increased memory for large projects, extended multi-monitor support, improved Object Inspector and much more. Delphi is 5x faster for development and deployment across multiple desktop, mobile, cloud and database platforms including 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 10.
