Create your own Web Server using C# - Summary

Imtiaz Alam

Summary

This article explains how to write a simple web server application using C#. Though it can be developed in any .net supported language, I chose C# for this example. The code is compiled using beta2. Microsoft (R) Visual C# Compiler Version 7.00.9254 [CLR version v1.0.2914]. It can be used with Beta1 with some minor modification. This application can co-exists with IIS or any web server, the key is to choose any free port. I assume that the user has some basic understanding of .net and C# or VB.Net. This Web server just returns html formatted files and also supports images. It does not supports any kind of scripting. I have developed a console-based application for simplicity.

    Hehe, I moved permanently to C# only a month or 2 after
    creating this thread :).

    I now have trouble reading VB code. Array access looks like
    function calls, etc... :cool:

    i find c# more comprehensible then VB.
    for a C# programmer is more difficult for read VB code...
