Re: ASP.NET as a Client App

I've seen your solution used a hundred times for small groups of users. If
your solution works ok for a small group then there should be no reason why
you cant continue using it. Look at it from a cost persepective if nothing
else.

Your options though also include using a redistributable version of Cassini
as part of your deployment, so you could in theory package all this to work
with a smaller scale webserver at least.

Or, hosting the ASP.NET Runtime.

Me - If no one is complaining, I'd probably go with what your doing and save
myself a lot of rework.

I have a ASP.NET app that my users would like to be able to access remotely
while out of the office (i.e. where they will have no internet
connection).
Rather than rewrite the whole thing as a traditional windows forms app,
I'd
like to deploy the actual web project.

All my users have good laptops, and I've been able to install MSDE and IIS
on them, deploy the project, and everything runs fine. Only one person
will
ever hit the localized IIS at one point in time, and performance is
acceptable (but not as good as I'd like).

My question is, is there a better way to deploy a ASP.NET web project in a
scenario like this without using IIS? We're a small shop (2 developers)
and
the bulk of our time will always be spent working on the "main server"
website, we'll probably never have time to write and maintain a second UI,
even though the bulk of our logic is in class files.
