The best thing about developing web sites has become the use of Vista and its support for IIS7.

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?

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.

Go to the control panel, look under software and programs. There you
can turn windows features on and off.

After having installed IIS, you'll need to configure a virtual
directory and copy paste your application into it.

And you're all set :).

Thanks, but I'm not sure I can justify setting up IIS on this machine
for this little program. 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.

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...
