Hi
I have a .Net web site, which it can read a text file content. It uses .Net's Path.GetFileName and required 'initialize and script activex controls not marked as safe for safety' to be enabled on IE's internet option, so it is only can run on IE.
Since IE is coming to end of life, anyone got any idea how to make it work on Chrome or Edge? I don't find any solution online yet.
Regards
One option is to move to HTML 5 API such as File System Access API, but keep in mind it has quite a few restrictions, https://web.dev/file-system-access/

Microsoft Edge no longer support the ActiveX and the only way to use it is if you run the website using the IE Mode.
However, we recommend do not use any ActiveX and use alternatives in modern web standards like HTML5. Currently, most functionalities of ActiveX controllers are natively build into modern web standards for example using WebGL, you are able to build a 3D Game without asking user to install any extensions.
