Which is better
VB Express or making a local web based application?

If I choose to run a web based app from within our local network only, not
out in the www, would i have to run another server to run the web app or
will sql server 2005 accomodate that as well?

Hello DavidW,

It depends on what you mean by "accomodate."

No, the native XML web services won't serve up your HTML, ASPX or ASMX, etc.

If you're asking if you can host IIS on an SQL Server, yes, you can. If you
should or not is debateable.

VBExpress is good at generating WinForm applications easily, but that's a
completely different use case than building a Web App.

Thank you,

Hi,

no you need a web server for this. Although you can run the web service
on the SQL Server box, SQL Server Service has no built in Web Server.
