Hello Jonathan,

This includes XP Pro, Vista Ultimate, Business and Home Premium. Go to the control panel, look under software and programs. There you can turn windows features on and off.

Also, I may want to load it on my laptop as well. I was wondering if there was some way to bypass all that. Doesn't sound like it. Thanks. Jonathan |

You could invoke the development server from the commandline, but I'd go for running on IIS. Easier, stabler, more securable and a standard feature. If your laptop is runnign any of the earlier mentioned Vista or XP versions, then it would work without problems on your laptop as well. If you've written the 'business' part of the application in seperate classes, it shouldn't be too much work to convert the app to Winforms... -- Jesse Houwing jesse.houwing at sogeti.nl |

It's "very" Web-based. In fact, if I can't get around IIS, I may just put it
on one of my sites and run it from there. Seems like the long way around for this little app but perhaps that's my best best. Thanks.

The best thing about developing web sites has become the use of Vista and
its support for IIS7. Read this http://tinyurl.com/clpklf It has become sooooooo fast and easy to develop and use local web sites on Vista because of IIS7 and because browsers are now more user friendly we do not even have to type the HTTP schema anymore. You can name a website x for example, load a browser or a new tab and just type x and press the Enter key. Or is that too much work for you too?

I appreciate the comment but the requirements were really double checked and
fully understood. Not that it matters but it includes a number of test components and scripts that I plan to incorporate into some of my Websites when time allows. I just found that it would provide some benefit if I could view what I had so far each morning, until I go on to develop some of those other things I have planned. Now, I haven't done much HTML with WebForms. So perhaps there is some functionality there that would be worth playing with. But it working so well now, it would be hard to justify a rewrite just for my current purposes. (BTW, I just stuck the code on one of my Web sites and placed a shortcut on the desktop. It's not slick but it works.) Thanks.

re:
!> Definitely or you could perhaps use Cassini !> (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassini_Web_Server). Better yet, dump Cassini, which is quite dated, and install Cassiniv2. Direct link to the source files: http://blogs.msdn.com/dmitryr/attachment/548131.ashx You will also need the v2.0 version of GACUTIL which is installed with VWD Express, VS 2005 and the .Net Framework 2.0 SDK. Make sure you read the "ReadMe.txt" file included in the zipped source. Juan T.
