http web server in VC#

[bigjoe11a]

I made a web site from this sample http://www.codeproject.com/KB/IP/mywebserver.aspx

and my question is. How do I get this web server to support and run asp.net 2.0 or 3.5 web pages and with Ajax.

Thanks
Joe

That's rather like asking - "I've built myself a model ferrari from a toy kit - how do I turn it into a real ferrari and enter it into Le Mans ?"

Answer : if I was to say this isn't easy that would be an understatement. If you have to ask, you can't do it.

Personally I wouldn't bother. Just get yourself a copy of XP professional (which has IIS built in which supports asp.net, AJAX etc).

Or download cassini.

That's not true. I seen books on this. I just don't have the money to buy them. I know it has to be true. I seen tutorials on this. Just didn't under stand what they were saying.

(1) Cassini is free.
(2) You've said "I seen tutorials on this". Can you post a link to the tutorials on how to turn a very simple webserver app into a fully asp.net supporting web server with ajax support ?

Darwen.

P.S. Have a look at here as well (free, free, free !).

[bigjoe11a]

Yes. Just google.com it. Like every one here tells me too. You will come up with a lot of links for it

[darwen]

I did google for it. I found lots of links about writing web services, not web servers.

Please post the link you are referring to.

Once you provide a link that you're having problems with I might be able to explain it to you.

Well I haven't tried to use them yet. I just went threw the code. And didn't under stand it. Let me see if I can find that one I was looking at earlier

This mite take some time to find it again
I'll don't all ways save them

Well said. : )

Darwen is right. BigJoe, you should listen to Darwen's opinion, as he has a lot of experience.

[bigjoe11a]

Well Yes and No. I have seen tutorials on this and there's books on this too. So I just can't find the tutorial I was looking at last week. I will keep looking for it.

There are a lot of versions of ASP thru the Net Framework. What about Silverlight? How about streaming media? How about remote desktop over HTTP?

That's all built into Windows Server 2008 R2, which has IIS 7.0 and SQL 2008 installed.

I'd say there isn't a tutorial for this. If there were any recorded notes, they are probably under lock and key.

Have your web server running somewhere? Think it's secure? We'll be more than happy to test it for you.

[bigjoe11a]

Well until I can get one up and running I'll let you know.

There is a reason that most developers do not write their own personal operating systems, and that reason also applies here. There is a *huge* difference between writing a simple webserver and writing a fully functional, robust, and secure webserver. I am a fan of learning and also of rolling your own solutions when it is a core business component and it is practical, but this is...beyond practical. If you spent the next year of your life on it you may get something running that is about 10% as robust and complete as already available solutions.

Yes, Nut theres no way to add the all ready made web servers to my project that I'm working on now. The asp.net web server is just one part of this 4 year project
