    I have a programme designed in C language & it's executable .exe file. I would like to add that software on my website so please let me know how should I add it & make it workable, so that the user of the website can work with the software on the website.

    C programs can't run directly through the website. They need to downloaded and then executed.

    If you want the user to use your software without the need to install it use java technology. that's the way to go.

    If you can run executable binaries on websites, there would be some serious problems with viruses...

    I don't think your hosting company will allow you to run .exe file, unless its your own dedicated server. But its possible to have a API developed that can talk to a .exe file and display results. Also you will be running some system commands which are disabled normally for a normal hosting account.

    exe programs written in C language can be executed from WEB server through CGI interface (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Gateway_Interface"]CGI interface) as long as your hosting provider supports it. Have a look at this page for more info: http://www.3essentials.com/web-hosting-articles/535/CGI-running-CGI-executables-and-CGI.EXEs-vs-EXEs.html

    You can use C executables as CGI, but there's no chance that the programs you have that are meant to be run on the clients computer would work without some serious code rewriting.

    I think you will also scare away most of your visitors the minute they realize a program is starting to run or try to be installed on their computer.

    if you have access to the source code, you may be able to reuse much of the functionality of the .exe

    sounds like you need to talk to a programmer
