Can one develop a Dot Net Web App with some type web server other than
Microsoft's IIS? I need to perform a few small development projects
on a laptop with XP Home (unable to install PRO due to driver issues.
)

Eg. How far can I push the development process on a machine with only
XP home?

Thanks
 
www.asp.net has a source project called Cassini. It is the precursor of the
file based server in Visual Studio 2005. While it is more difficult than
developing with IIS, it is not impossible. As far as developing with other
third partyweb servers, there are means, but they are more difficult.

Now, the question is how deep you wish to go? Stepping outside of the box is
a great way to increase knowledge, but never easy.

The issue is not how far, but what can I reasonable accomplish with
only XP Home! What I need to know is what will and will not run on
Home. I know IIS will not. Will the developer edition of SQL server,
etc run. Need to research.

Thanks for the info

P.S.

Laptop manufactures appear to dislike supplying all of the drivers
needed to go to another OS unless you get the OS from them!
