  Hi Babak,

  Thanks for your reply.
  My problem was " I am creating one Windows service,which runs in client machine ,The service get the IP address,other details from the web through XML and Upload some files to the corresponding server."
  (Here I need one XML file(in client machine) to get the IP address from web thats what I asked about xml file creation in Client machine.so that only I can easily upload the files).
  How can I get the IP address and other details from web to my client machine.
  Is it possible.or Any other way to solve this problem.Please help me.....
  Regards,
  Justin

  Hi,

  Take a look at SSI, or server side includes, they contain the information you are looking for with regards to a web request.

  I take it you are using ASP.NET it does not actually matter if you only wish to get the information into the client, SSI must be enabled on the web server and then you can use a simple echo directive in your HTML to have it print out the value of a specific server environment variable.

  <!--#echo var="REMOTE_HOST"-->

  Prints the public IP address of the client, if you want the private ip address then you will need a process on the client to provide that for you such as a java applet.

  To obtain that information on the server side, such as with ASP.Net use Request.ServerVariables("$variable");

  If you want to generate an XML file it will be easiest to generate on the server side using XmlDocument, take a look at :

  If you then want to pass that document to the client for processing (sorry I am not totally clear on your requirements) consider researching AJAX, which is a collection of javascript dependant method of dynamically loading web content, usually via XML, take a look at this: http://devzone.skillfusion.com/ajaxArticle4.php

  Dear Justin,

  For security reasons, you can not save anything on your clients machine (except cookies).
