ASP.Net on the Network

[Marcus via DotNetMonster.com]

We have 200+ concurrent users. We can't deploy on the company web/internet
for 6 months due to other priority projects. We have Oracle database as the
backend. Can an ASP.Net application be deployed on the Network? and will
it accommodate 200_ concurrent users?

Thanks,
Marcus

Not sure what you mean exactly...

An ASP.NET application can *only* be deployed on an IIS server and, in order
for it to be accessible from client browsers, they need to be able to "see"
that webserver... Generally speaking, in a corporate intranet environment
(which I'm assuming is where you are), these webservers would have to be on
"the network" somehow otherwise they'd be inaccessible to the network...

What do you actually mean by "deploy on the network"...?

The Lan Network. I was thinking to deploy ASP.Net or VB.Net front end.
Whichever can be deployed on the Lan Network with concurrent user of 200+.

We have access to Oracle at the job for the backend but not a web server.
Trying to keep everything Lan Network or find a way to deploy on the
intranet. IT department takes too long to deploy a web intranet solution, so
this would be a work around.

Thanks,
Marcus

Find a web server and you are fine. You do NOT (notice the caps) want to
deploy a web application to every client machine on the network. And, you
cannot serve up web pages without some form of server. Theoretically, you
can use the deployable web server with Visual Studio to deploy to the
desktop, but I would not recommend this direction.

You can use VB.NET to make a Smart Client front end, if you wish.

As I said, ASP.NET needs an IIS server.

If you wish to write your app as a desktop WinForms app, then that's a
completely different question...

Hmm - OK, at a push...

For 200 concurrent users...?

You'll be surprised at how sturdy Cassiniv2 is.

Download it and subject it to a stress test.
I did...and don't doubt it any more.

Interesting - thanks for that.
