WPF and ASP.NET
-
I'm researching if an idea we had today at a meeting is possible. What we need to do is embed an ASP.NET project inside a WPF app. I'm not talking about a browser feature, the ASP.NET app is not published on any server. The idea is to avoid any server setup. Anyone know if this is possible, or not?

Why do you want to embed an ASP.NET app inside a WPF one? Could you please elaborate on what you're trying to achieve here?

It's for demonstration. The idea is to be able to send the customer a few demo web apps. The demos should work out-of-the box without any setup. I know the first idea is to have the demo apps available online, but due to some product specifics, we prefer not to.

This is an insane question. You'd have to ship your website code AND make sure IIS was set up, then use a browser control to browse to it. How else could it work. The non retarded way to do this is to have the websites in question on a hidden server, which perhaps has some sort of security built in, to try to make sure that only your WPF app could browse to the sample site.

You could perhaps try giving Cassini a WPF front-end? (http://www.asp.net/Downloads/archived/cassini/[^], http://ultidev.com/products/Cassini/[^]) I've needed something like this before and ended up pretty much writing my own simple webserver using HttpListener. However I didn't need any actual ASP.net features, my webserver was very simple. But I think Cassini would have been a better route to have taken.
