Also keep in mind that activex are supported on IE. The other option is create a plugin which user will have to donwload and install on pc. And plugin could use web services to push anything from local machine. From page you force download file with the information needed by plugin and plugin is having associativity with that file. Plugin has all the business functionality you need to provide.<br />

Hello<br />
<br />
I am making a website using ASP.NET (C#), and on that website I have to communicate with a keyreader, which is connected to the end users PC via the COM port.<br />
<br />
Can anyone tell me how to do this? I know that I will most likely need some kind of ActiveX component, but I have only found one on the net (from ActiveXperts) but it crashes when I try and use it. <br />
<br />
Any help will be much appreciated.<br />
<br />
Regards<br />

ASP.NET C#: Communicating with user COM port from website

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

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
