You can use the application class property Remote Panel:Connections To Clients to get some data about the client connected to your VI.

To get it, create a property node (Application Control palette) and then click the node and find the property. It's an array of cluster.

Another option, depending on you're interfacing with the web server, is to get the data from the web server.

how can i use property i amnot using labview with vb or dot net .and can uplease write a little bit more about taking data directly from web server.thanks

You are using LV, since you said you have a remote FP to a VI. The property I was refering to should be called from that VI. As for talking to the web server, I really don't know. You can probably do this by creating some DLLs which you can call from LV or by creating a TCP connection between the VI and your program or maybe getting the LV internet toolkit. This really isn't my territory. You can try searching for tutorials on TCP and DLLs in LV on this site to see if this direction helps you.

i just published my VI to make it remote front panel that just what i  know about remote front panel. how can i access a property i do nt know  i would be really thank ful if u write me some more detail or any link on the topic. u said i can call the property from VI i do not know  how to do this kindly give ur suggestion.

The property I refered to gives you limited information about the remote clients connected to the running LV application. It is possible (not at all certain) that you can use it to get the information you need.

Once again, to create it, select a property node from the Application Control palette, click the node and select Remote Panel>>Connection to Clients and use the array and cluster functions to get the information you need. You can right click the name of the property and select Help for XXXX to get a full description of the property.

I don't have much experience with it, but you might want to look at the add-on called the Internet Toolkit. It includes CGI functions that will probably allow you to pass information from one web page (i.e. a request for the email address) to the remote panel.

could uplease write me where can i find Application control panel.there is no internet tool kit in labview 7.1

Well, if you don't know how to find the Application Control palette, then I would say you're not in a good position on the LV side, since opening a palette to place a VI on the diagram is pretty much the most basic operation in LV, and the palette names are listed on the top of every palette. This specific palette looks like a hand holding a platter with the LV logo on it.

If you are a beginner in LV, try searching this site and google for LabVIEW tutorials. Here and here are a couple you can start with. You can also contact your local NI office and join one of their courses.
In addition, I suggest you read the LabVIEW style guide.

Like I said previously, I'm not sure this will really help you. This property gives you very limited information about the other side (basically IP address, LV user name) and so may not be very useful. You still may want to look into talking to your program. What you may wish to do is call your local NI office and explain your problem, and they may know how to help you.
