Question

I wish to build a Windows application that will generally run in the background, but have a configurable front-end Windows Forms GUI. I also would like this program to publish a small web page which can be accessed from other machines/devices and interact or call functions of the server application.
I’d rather not deploy a full-fledged ASP.NET web site with IIS, etc. I just need something simple.

So how would I go about doing this?

Thanks to Kev in the comments on my question, he pointed me to this question, in which I found a link to a lightweight C# HTTP server component I could just drop in to my application: http://webserver.codeplex.com/

Works well for little stuff like I was doing.
