How to Develop a ASP.NET application that interact with device attached to the Client side computer using .Dll

I want to develop such a web based ASP.NET application with VB.NET that when request on client's browser,provide interaction with any device installed on the client's computer through the use of .dll files and .lib files.





Because ASP.NET is a server side technology, all operations and events performed on server side. Now I want to develop a application that when run on client's browser can execute the API functions defined in .dll file resides on client's computer for interacting with device attached to client's computer.


If this is not possible with ASP.net , what else i needed to get my objective fulfilled .

What device are you trying to interface with? Generally devices that provide input to the computer do it in a specific way. Bar Code readers (for example) provide input through the keyboard. The computer is not aware of them ususally, and doesn't care that they are there.





Your question is too open ended. Yes, it is possible ot interact with client side DLLs, but you have to know WHAT dll you're interacting with ahead of time, and there are some specific configuration things that have to be done.





Post some additional information that better defines your intent (what you are trying to do with this, what devices you want to interact with), and you can get a better answer. Any device for any purpose....well, the answer to that is easily NO.
