I had a wild thought today. I’ve been discovering that my users like my web UIs more than my WinForms UIs…but there are good reasons to still write a ‘smart client’ application.
Can I write my application UI in ASP.NET/MVC, host it inside my client exe, and locally access it using the IE control in my winforms app?
Is there a lightweight asp.net server I can host in-process or fork off? Has anyone tried this? Did the results flatter?
You can use the Cassini web server.
