AutoRun ASP.NET Web Applications on CD

I. Background

Autoplay CD is useful for promotion and training, as we have mentioned previously. Now with the help of a "Mini IIS Web Server" called Cassini, hosting ASP.NET web pages, it is easy to distribute the whole ASP.NET web site into a CD and let users running it by simply inserting the CD into the CD drive. If there is database in the CD, then the ASP.NET Application can only access database read-only.

To achieve this, you will need to download the Cassini source code and build it into a DLL, then put your ASP.NET code and data into the proper folders under the "root" of this Web Server. After testing OK, you can burn the whole content, together with proper autoplay.inf into a CD before you distribute.

For detailed information, please refer to this MSDN article written by Bart De Smet.

II. Yamabay ASP.NET applications on Cassini

To demonstate the usefulness of Cassini, we have packaged our HTML Editor (or Rich Text Editor) with Spell Checker ASP.NET Web Application with Cassini Web Server into a ZIP file. After Unzip, you can burn the whole content into a CD. Once it is done, you will be able to AutoRun this CD by inserting it into the CD/DVD drive of Windows 2000/XP/2003 with .NET Framework 1.1 installed.
