.aspx pages in a CD
Hi,
I have made a big project, with .net 2.0 & Access as database. There are over 2000 products which i have stored in database & this are loaded in .aspx pages. The web site is online.
Now the client wants an additional service, he wants to distribute this site in a CD. And this should be an offline site. It means the .aspx pages should run even if there is no internet connection on client machine.
So, I have the whole website with me, with all .aspx pages & 1 Access database, but don't know how to perform this task. Coz its not necessary that client will have .net framework installed on his machine.
As the CD gets inserted, automatically index.aspx page should be opened with AutoPlay in the browser.
Please give me a solution.
I have 1 idea but i don't know how to do it. The idea is to create a software like .exe & by clicking NEXT & NEXT & FINISH.
Help me....Thank u....

Hi there,
You won't be able to do this without your client installing the .NET run-time. And even then it's a hassle. You need to install at least IIS Express and maybe some database tools. In other words, this is probably not going to work.
Does the site need to be interactive? Or just a browsable catalog? In the latter case, can't you create a read-only, HTML based version of the site using some web grabber?
Otherwise, you'll need to rebuild the site in some other, client based technology.
Cheers,
Imar

There are over 1500 products. So if i start making this site in html from the scratch, i have to make 1500 html pages, its not going to be a good deal.
Is there any solution in regarding of converting this complete site in HTML.
Thank u....!!

As I suggested in my previous message, you can use a site grabber to save the site as HTML. You lose a lot of the interactivity though (no postbacks).
If you must run on the local machine, I'd look into IIS Express instead of the Codeplex server. If I am not mistaken, you're allowed to bundle IIS Express, but be sure to look in the EULA before you go this route.
But personally, I would rethink my strategy. What's the reason you need off-line capabilities?

Imar

Hi,
The competitor of client has done this. His whole website is html based(about 2000 html pages), so he didn't have any problem in packing the .html pages in a CD.
So, the client also want the same thing. that is the reason for off-line capabilities. but the problem is that my original site is .net based & not html.
Thank U....!!
