For windows app we have to create the setup file :
To create a setup file follow this ►Create new setup project.  You will find 3 folders:
 
1.Application Folder
2.User's desktop
3.User's program menu
 
► Add the exe, database, images, dll files of you project in the "Application Folder"
 
► Add the exe file in the "User's Desktop" and "User's program Menu" folder if you want a exe 's short cut in the desktop and in start menu
 
Now all files are added now build the project, and you will get the exe setup file of your in the bin directory of your setup project

Hello Friend,

You can use Microsoft services to do so,

Here is  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms733069.aspx process to do this.

if you want to use self hosted service do like http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms731758.aspx.

Let me know if it doesnot help.

Regards
D

hi,

Here steps for Windows Application hosting on LAN

i am giving you the steps what you have to do:
  1. Install the Internet Information Service (IIS) in your pc.
  2. Copy the web project folder into "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot". 
  3. Go to "Control Panel-->Administrative Tools-->Internet Information Services Manager".
  4. A window will appear and click on the Default Web Site to spand.
  5. Go to the properties of your desired web project here and create an Application Name.
  6. Now go in your browser and if your page name is abc.aspx, then write "http://[ip address]/Application Name/abc.aspx"
  7. Now you will get your desired page.
If your web project is connected with any database, ex: ABCShoppingMallBD.mdf, then you must have the SQL Server Management Studio Express. Without it you can't configure your database for the LAN.
I assume, you all have the tool and now i am describing what you have to do:
  1. If you use windows authentication for accessing the database, then you must have to create a login name. The name must be "ASPNET" because, remote pc use this name for login. So, for creating this, through the object explorer, go to "Security-->Logins". Right click on the Logins tab and click on "New Login".
  2. A new window will appear. On the Login Name , write "ASPNET" and select your desired database from the dropdown menu of the Default Database tab.
  3. Click on Ok button and you are almost finished.
  4. At last, go to your System's Control Panel, and create a new user named "ASPNET" as administrator and you are finished.
Now open your browser and search for some item, you will get the result according your code

what I really want that, any employee sit on there system and can run my application from their system without installing the application in their systems.

that means they will access the windows application from my system at their place... 

so is it possible or not???
