Re: Running a C# program w/GUI through a web browser

Short answer: can't be done without big changes to your app.

You will need to pull the UI out of the app and replace it with a
webforms UI or split the program into a true client-server app.

There may be one other solution... Depending on how the program
accesses the data you *might* be able to place the app on a central
server and give people terminal service access into the server so they
can run the application.
