ASPX in vb.net?

[carl_mathews200]

Hi there,
i am still trying to find my way around the whole .net thing so im sorry if this is a stupid question.

If i have a windows application created in vb.net and installed it on a machine which does not have IIS installed - could i display and interact with an ASPX page within my application (Even thought it is not hosted)?

Does that make sence?

Cheers.

ASP.NET applications are called Web applications. And you need a server to view them.

If you don't have IIS, you could use WebMatrix, but it's best you use IIS.

ok ty

If then i just wanted to display a simple html page in my application what is the best way? In vb6 you could just put the WebBrowser control and load the page.

Im sure there must be a better with with .NET?

IIRC, there is no web browser control in VB.NET. Instead, you can either use the old DLL, or look for a third party control which serves the same purpose.
