How do I have a web based Client Side Application in .net?

 Is there any way to do this in .net?  Have a Client Side Web Based Client Side application.  similar to Page Designers in VB6? Is it possible?  OR
Lets say your app was server side but the client lost network connection somehow how would you take the data in the form and resend it when the server came back?

Doesn't really work like that. Most web applications are stateless, but with ASP.NET you can do things to help with that.

If someone wanted to run ASP.NET on their client, they'd have to have IIS installed - something most users shouldn't have installed because it's too complicated.

What kind of clients are you working with? Someone that can lose their connection on a whim sounds like someone driving around in a car, or out in the boonies.

What I did on one applications was build in an automatic save. Every minute the form would post the data entered to the server using a quick AJAX call and the server would do a quick save of the data - in a temp table. Once the form was submited, the quick-save data was erased.

Hi Friend,
You can use a web application as a client side application.
For that you have to instal IIS and .Net framwork on the client mechine to run that application.

Sorry the clients we have can be walkign around making selections on a website when they go out of service and make another selection.  
Some of them have very questionable connections in the boonies.  Our clients are builders who work out of those little mobile homes while their models are being built. so things like this are a concern..

Is it a website they're making changes on? Or client software installed on their system which then updates when getting in range?

If they have their own IIS Server installed on their laptops I could see this, other than that I'm not sure.

 It is a website they are making changes to.  We want to keep the data client side though so that if they disconnect we can resend the packet... to the server...
