Eh, you have thought about the security implications if a http-launched
app *could* launch an arbitrary process? I.e., Process.Start("cmd.exe -k
rmdir c:/winnt")?For the issue with full-trust, look back in the archives for items by Chris Sells on "Yahoo". That should provide a pretty good overview of the current security challenges for an http-deployed WinForm.
