I'm working on a project which will test users abilities to guess a
series of randomly generated pitches. The users need to be able to access
the program via the web and the results will either be saved on the server
hosting the webpage or will be emailed those evaluating the test. Is there a
C# equivalent to Java applets to allow my program to run on the web? Do I
need to use an Active Server Page? Or is ASP just a way to create dynamic
web pages? I would be greatful if someone could point me in the right
direction.

Thanks
 
As the MVP said, Windows Forms Controls. They work a lot like ActiveX
controls, but run in a sandbox (security can be loosened in small pieces -
see the documentation). You don't have to use anything Microsoft on the
server side. JSP is just fine. However, on the client side, you will need
IE 5.5 or IE 6. They won't work with IE 5 or any version of Netscape at
this time.

One thing - it's easy to use Web Services to communicate to a web server
from one of these Controls. You might want to check that out.
