Application in browser window - how to begin?

[Clemens Chiba - Greentube I.E.S. AG]

Hi!

I want to write applications in C# which I can use in a browser
window like I can with Java applets.

Now my question: How to start?

I tried to create a new project as <ASP.NET Web Application> or
<Empty Web Project> but there I had to enter a web address as
location. I got an error that the ASP.NET server 1.1 is not
running and could not create the project.
How can I install/start this server or is this type of project
the completely wrong way to do what I want?
What's the correct project type?

The easiest for me would be a web site with a little example
("Hello World!" with a button should be enough ;-) - I've got
C# experience writing "normal" applications). It seems I used
the wrong terms in Google because I get everything but not
what I want.

Thanks in advance.

Ciao and bye,
Clemens

you may need install IIS first, and register asp.net in IIS by typing "
regiis_aspnet -i" in command line prompt

well, using ASP.NET is one solution or you can make any .NET window application(.exe) and put it on your webserver(say IIS) and provide a html page having hyperlink pointing to this exe. your .NET application will run normally in browser window. This approach is more similar to writing applets but restriction is client machines should have .NET framework installed and browser should be IE5.5 and above
For more ideas look "hosting user controls in IE"
