Advice needed on client side programming.

I have an application written in J++ that runs client side code. I would
like to convert this application to C#, but am somewhat new to C# and need
some 'how to' advice.

The code must run on the client machine, and needs to perform HTTP requests
from the client machine to other servers (not the server that C# is running
on). This worked fine as a J++ applet, but I can't figure out how to do this
in C#. If possible, I would like to make this work for Netscape as well.
Granted the J++ code did not work on Netscape, but I would like this new code
to if possible. Can anyone point me in the direction to make this work?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
 
If you just need to make some request trough the local network/internet then
read MSDN about Remoting.
If you want client-side communicate with server-side based on ISS - read
about XML Web Services ibidem.
 
Neither of these 2 options appear to do what I want. I would really like to
create something on the order of an Applet that downloads to a user
automatically. Both of these options appear to involve manually installing
an application on an end users machine.

Is there anything in .NET that resembles the Applets or 'Code Behind' that
we had with Visual Studio (pre .NET)?
Thanks
