Web browser Control under Citrix environment


I have a web application which is also displayed in a web browser control of a winforms application. MS Word and Excel are installed on Citrix server.

But I want to open a word/excel document on client's machine instead of Citrix server when I click a link on the website (which is displaying in web browser control)

Is it possible?


Solution

  • Citrix supports a mechanism called Content Redirection which can redirect specified filetypes either to server or to client.

    See this Server-to-client Content Redirection Explained for an explanation.
