I have an application developed with Asp.Net and C#. I have to display DWG - CAD files(stored in a server) in a client side browser. I cannot install Auto CAD or any other software or activeX control in my client side machines and it can be installed only on the server. Is there a way to achieve it?

I have tried the DWGViewX, but it was not able to display the image when accessed from a client. But when accessed from the server itself, am able to view the DWG file. I have just tried the trial version of DWGViewX. Is this issue because of the licensing issue?

ANy help in this regard will be greatly apprecited.

Regards

Vignesh

Have a look at CadLib. It has an ASP.NET example solution in the evaluation download. There's also a beta version for a Silverlight 4 edition (see the forum).
