run asp.net without a web server

[sms1973]

I have an ASP.NET application that I need to package and ship on CDs to
run on Client machines without a web server.
I read a few topics here that made it sound possible. Someone actually
referred to an article in MSDN Magazine October 2002 edition, but I
couldn't find that article online.
any ideas or a copy of that article would be helpful. Sample code would
be great as well.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Yes, here are a couple articles that should help you get started:

Thank you very much both Steve and Juan for responding. I hate to say
this, but I'm a VB coder ONLY and dont' have much experience with C#.
In the first articles that Steve suggested the author says that sample
VB.NET code is available, but i Couldn't find it. Would any of you know
of a site that has the sample code in VB.NET?
Thanks again,

Hi, Seever.

When I find C# code that needs conversion to VB.NET,
I seldom translate it manually.

I generally pass the code through a tool like this one :

and test the returned code.

It's easier to fix a minor flub or two than to translate pages of code.
