Convert asp.net user control to windows app?

[aaronluna]

Hi All,

I was wondering if it is possible to easily convert an asp.net user
control (.ascx) into an equivalent windows app. I plan on simply
duplicating the user control in a c# windows app through brute force,
but am becoming pressed for time with multiple deadlines. If there is
an easier way than building the entire c# app from scratch, I would
greatly appreciate the advice.

The form contains listboxes, buttons, labels, textboxes and gridviews.
It is a p.i.t.a. to create the c# listboxes and other elements when I
have perfectly good asp.net server controls doing the job on the user
control.

Any input is appreciated.

Regards,
Aaron

Why not to provide the client with WebBrowser component which will use your
ASP.net control?

Michael,

The client wants to view and test the app offline, how can I make the
..ascx into an equivalent app they can use offline on their laptop, for
example.

Thanks,
Aaron

Why not to provide them the whole site?
It may be not very good solution but definity very fast rather control converting

What is the best procedure for providing the client with a copy of the
entire site they can view offline (without VS2005)?

^ When I say "without VS2005", I mean the client will not have a copy
on the machine they wish to view the site on. I obviously use VS2005
to develop the site, I am just trying to give them a copy of a
particular web app so they can view and use it offline, I will provide
them with the SDK framework.

If there is a way to give them the entire site so they can view it
offline using only a browser and the .NET framework, that would help me
greatly.

Aaron

Right mouse click on the project name in VS IDE, then "Publish Web Site"
and ship the precompiled version of your site to the client
when just web-share the folder with your site

You can bundle the cassini web server, or any of its alteratives with your
application for scenarios where you don't have IIS. But if its available,
try and make use of it!
