    Could someone give me a quick overview, or point me to instructions, about serving ASP.NET production applications in Cassini?  I have downloaded, installed, and ran Cassini locally for development purposes.  I now want to create an installer for the application, include Cassini in the installer, and specify that Cassini serve the application when the installer is ran on the production machine.  Thusfar I haven't been able to find instructions for using Cassini in a production environment.

     Thank you,

     Mike

    Cassini was never intended to serve production applications, as it is very unlikely it could even handle a moderate load. Because of the design of it, there never have been instructions for using Cassini in a production environment. Microsoft even flat out noted that it is not suitable for production use.

    Currently the only reasonable way to serve an ASP.NET Application in a production environment is through IIS.
