Is there an ASP.NET version of phplist???
For those that do not know what phplist is; it's a list management app with a lot of really helpful features. (phplist.com)
I want to use something like phplist in a hosted Windows website without having to pay for another account that's just Linux to run phplist and a web service for me to access.
I have not heard about phplist. But you can run php using iis as well. Why not try it?

I am hosting my website on IIS , the website was built using the react template. But I have ran into a problem. When using localhost my webapp worked a charm, i could interact with the database and life was good. But now ive moved it over to IIS Im no longer able to pull data in from the database or interact with the db.
I think the problem may be the fact that IIS is running on a different server to my local machine. I have the ASP Core runtime installed on my local machine but not on the server where IIS is situated.
Can someone just confirm to me that I do require ASP Core runtime to be installed on the IIS server also?
Im not able to test things out until tomorrow otherwise I would find out for my self. Apologies, im basically a beginner with IIS and ASP
Thanks
If you are facing troubles with the database connection and not with your API endpoints could be network/proxy/firewall stuff. But if you're not able to deploy your API to IIS maybe could be that you're missing the Net Core bundle. For more information check the link below:

Yes, you are required to have the ASP.NET Core runtime installed if you plan on running asp.net-core applications on it.
I have web form aplication in asp.net and i have to create (has to be easy to install)complex instalator, witch will install IIS server, deploy the app to it create a local database and sets everything up. So the user will just complete installation and then will just run the aplication with out and other setting(or as little as posible).
I have no idea what to use or if it is even posible. Coudl you help me with what to use and how to create such instalation?
Thanks.
In my opinion, you could try to use some extenstion tool to achieve your requirement.
Like Professional edition of Advanced Installer.
It support:
IIS web sites, app pools, web apps and virtual directories
Install windows features without writing any scripting
I've created an Azure server instance. I've deployed a simple application to it. As part of the deployment process I enabled Remote Desktop Connections.
I have some standard ASP.net applications that run on Windows, is there something to stop me deploying these applications manually to IIS using Remote Desktop. I've read so much about having to migrate standard ASP.net apps to Azure. I don't want to this as we will have customers who will still use Windows Server 2003/2008 so I don't want to have to maintain 2 versions.
Well, as I understand it, in theory you could deploy stuff using remote desktop. But when the instance shuts down/restarts you'll lose it all (unless you've built it into your startup scripts) and have to re-load everything each time. The main reason they suggest you have at least two instances is so that when one shuts down for updates etc there is always at least one other running.
The "Windows Azure Accelerator for Web Roles" project allows you to create an Azure web role which then enables you to use web deploy for all your other web sites - I'm guessing that will be a whole lot better approach and is definitely worth a look. Also, I believe smarx.com is a good place to browse for info and ideas.
Using a startup task and the Azure Bootstrapper you can download, unzip, install almost any kind of 3rd party software that supports either xcopy deployment (just copy the files) or an unattended(silent) install.
Assuming you aren't using Azure storage or anything like that, there shouldn't be any difference with the IIS application. If you are using anything specific to Azure, you can use the RoleEnvironment.IsAvailable to test if you are running inside Azure or not. That will return true for the emulator as well. If you want to use Azure storage from both, you can add the settings in the web.config to use if not running in Azure.
I am trying to evaluate Orbeon Forms, and want to install it on my personal laptop. I don't have a web server available to me, but I understand that Windows 7 comes with one, IIS (formerly Personal Web Server). But the Orbeon installation instructions say nothing about IIS (unless it's under a different name). Before I spend the time to figure out how to make IIS work, I'd like some assurance that Orbeon Forms will work under it. Can anyone tell me that?
Thanks!

Orbeon Forms runs within a Java Servlet container. Therefore it won't work directly under IIS, which is not a Java Servlet container.
You don't say in your question whether you need to use IIS, or whether you are open to using something else. If you absolutely need plain IIS, you are out of luck since, as mentioned above, IIS is not itself a Servlet container.
Now if you have the option to install something else, the good news is that it's really easy to download and install Tomcat. Then follow the Orbeon Forms installation instructions and you will be all set in a breeze.
Tomcat running on a laptop is what the Orbeon Forms developers (including myself) themselves use.
Then later you can explore whether you want to use IIS as a front-end for Tomcat, for example with the IIS connector for Tomcat.
I've developed a very simple ASP.NET (jQuery) application.
The RDBMS is MS Sql Server but I could easily convert it in MS Access.
My client would like to have it available on a CD, ready to run.
I was thinking to convert it in a WinForm app but, still, I have to install the framework on the client.
Is there any other "possible" solution?
You're going to have more trouble trying to run a web app on a client machine than you will a desktop application.
A web app requires some sort of web server running, but a desktop app just needs the framework.
You're going to be better off converting it to a desktop app.
If your users are running versions of XP, Vista, or Windows 7 that include IIS, you could conceivably install the application into a virtual directory. That's a lot to ask from end-users, though. Most users won't have IIS installed even if they are running a version of Windows that offers it.
I haven't tried this, but I just found it by searching for "portable asp.net web server"

Introduction
Have you ever wanted to show up an
ASP.NET project where IIS was not
accessible? Have you ever thought of
if there can be a way to carry your
web server wherever you go, i.e., on a
USB flash stick or even a CD?
If so, then this cool TinyWebServer is
for you! This tiny portable web server
can be used for testing and developing
ASP.NET projects, wherever IIS is not
available.
Should be simple if you convert it to HTML & jquery script. As HTML doesn't require any seperate runtime & also worth considering asp.net runtime also does the same thing when the response is sent to the client.
You maybe able to do this by using something like cassini http://www.asp.net/downloads/archived/cassini/. This is a simplified version of the visual studio web server that you see when you run from visual studio.
In my team we have used this and wrapped it in a exe that allows us to start the cassini server and start a browser to the cassini server address.
This still relies on the right version of .NET Framework being installed.
