Would it be hard to write an application which could send a basic html
page to, let's say a browser, that connects to the application on a
specified port? I've never even pondered doing this before, any
suggestions on how to best achieve this? Good tutorial suggestions
maybe? ^_^

Thanks.

Shawnbm,

Yes this will probably be hard. And if you succeed you will probably see the
next security patch, which prevents that.

Just my idea

Essentially you are talking about an HTTP server, or webserver if you
prefer. There's nothing stopping you writing such a thing in .NET,
although the easiest approach would probably be to write the app using
ASP.NET on IIS, then configure IIS to present your app on the
particular port you want.

If you want to avoid depending on IIS, you would need to do your own
Socket work to listen for incoming connections and maintain any session
state necessary.

Bear in mind that getting something like this *working* would probably
be quite fun; getting it working *right* and *well* might be a little
more work :)
