Running a C# program on a website

I have a C# application that i want to run, it is a subscribe app that can open up and take information and write it down to a excel or txt file, i want to make its link to the html as simple as possible, how do i do that, i tried a <a href = > link but it downloads it, i want it to open and run with out being downloaded. We have tried creating a hta something, but it does not work, we tried a button and that does not work either. I want it to run off the link, is there a way to do such a thing or is it because that it is server side that it is impossible to do so?

Edit

The client would not be putting in numbers, just basic information, name, DOB, and email, that is all.

You can investigate ClickOnce deployment - if you want the application to launch client-side.

Launching apps server-side is a pretty big no-no, but possible using Process.Start() from your aspx (or cshtml/vbhtml) code-behind.
