Hello,

Is there any way to have client-side javascript call a .net windows application and pass back a value?  Basically, I have two components.  A .NET windows application and a custom IE toolbar that uses javascript.  They both access an access database on the local machine. My problem is that my windows applicaiton using .net encryption to encrypt/decrypt certain fields in the database and my IE toolbar needs to retrieve these fields from the database.  However, I can't decrypt the data because I can't use .NET cryptography in my javascript.  So, I'm trying to find out if I can somehow call the .NET logic from my javascript.  I know I could call a web service but that would mean I need IIS installed on the local machine and I'm trying to avoid that solution.  Maybe .NET remoting?  Does anyone have any ideas?

Thank you,
Tony
