.NET forms on webpages without ASP

Just wondering if there was an easy way to drop a .NET Windows Form on a
webpage in the same way that you can with an ActiveX object? The proviso is
that we don't want to have to use an ASP because we don't want our users to
have to install Inetpub.
Cheers,
Ben
 
Thanks for your reply,
We want to show a Windows Form in a local webpage on the user's machine via
Outlook's webview. I understand that in order to serve up an ASP or ASP.NET
page, you need to install Inetpub on the machine serving up the page. Since
the pages will be local on each of our user's machines, that would mean that
each user would have to install Inetpub just to use our Forms. That's
something most users will probably not want to bother with.
Hope that clarifies things,
Ben

No way, they are two different technologies

Your users only need a browser to access your application.

Thanks, Ignacio,
The thing is that I want to put the control on a webpage as simply as you
can do it with an ActiveX form. So, can I refer to a .NET assembly using an
<object> tag or something like it? The only other ways I know involve using
server-side controls, and that is Not A Good Thing in this case.

Not if you can't put it on a webpage without installing a webserver!
