Integration of Mfiles with WebApplication in .Net

:) Hi i am a new user Irfan Syed registered on your site.
    I have been using the trial version of M-files for the past 15 days the application is very good look and feel wise as well as functionality it also has a good and comprehensive documentation.
    The problem is i have my web application(.Net) which is accessed by different users the same users have been created in M-files with some limited documents viewable to these users, the requirement in my firm is to do integration going through the documentation what i have come accross is using "openfile.aspx" and docid parameter i can open the document in my application so half of the job is done but this has a limitation i.e. i have to create the registry keys with username and password hardcoded inside so if some other user also wants access in the same way there is no option or how should i do it.
    One more thing the user which i have created in registry allows access to all the documents i.e i can't limit access to some few documents only. To counter this issue i tried custom webpage access in .NET there too i was able to connect to vault using the registered users in MFiles but was still stuck with opening any of the sample images in the documents\pictures folder through coding if you have any sample codes please help me out any help will be appreciated profusely. Here i am using webpage to open the document and not the form of desktop as my application is webapplication.

??? ::)

    Hello,

    I am trying this as well. We have an existing web portal here that is written in C#.NET. Reading the API guide, I was able to connect to the server, and then to a vault. But when I tried getting documents out, it coughed up all over the place.

    Has *ANYONE* gotten M-Files to work inside a .net web application?

    It seems to me that M-FILES truly was meant to work as a thick client...

    Thanks,
    Scott
