Copying site to cd?

[VB Programmer]

I would like to copy my full ASP.NET website to a cd to pass out to people
without computers. Is this possible? How could I do this?

What would they use to play the CD? An audio CD Player? A video DVD
player?

If they don't have a computer, what would they see your site on ?

A Sony CD Walkman ?

Yes this is possible. You will need to have your own host (since the CD won't
be using IIS). Cassini can be used for this:

http://asp.net/Default.aspx?tabindex=6&tabid=41

It's fairly simple in fact... Aaron wrote a somewhat detailed article on
how to do it manually (w/o Cassini):

Hmm, I guess I hit send a bit early... I missed the without computers requirement
there... Yeah, that's going to be a bit difficult...

Brock,

he specifically ruled out using a computer to view the site.

The solutions you mention ( which I would have mentioned if he
had not specified that his objective is to pass the site-on-a-CD
to people *without computers* ) require the use of a computer.

Yeah, I noticed that after the fact... I wonder what's he's really trying
to do then...?

I have no idea...

Maybe he'll clear that up, or maybe it was just a "crossed wire" and
he really meant "to distribute to people who don't run a web server".

Ex-MVP and former owner of the "15Seconds" site, Wayne Berry,
wrote a neat application which converted all dynamic ASP 2/3 pages
to HTML, allowing site distribution which could be viewed in a PC
which didn't need a web server to run the ASP application,
but I have never seen a website which runs without a computer.

Seriously, paper is best for these people. Perhaps print off your website
and give it to these people on paper. (Or print of paper reports).

Sorry for the confusion. I want to create a cd (like a sales cd) to give to
clients so that, even if they have NO internet connection, they can go thru
the site and look at it. Make sense?

Thanks!
