c# applet

Hi,

Im trying to get a c# 'applet' to work. Like demonstrated here:
http://samples.gotdotnet.com/quickstart/winforms/Samples/IeSourcing/VB/IESourcing.htm

but I can't get it running on my local server (so security should not be a
problem)
I tried simple examples like:
http://www.csharphelp.com/archives/archive109.html

but all I get is an empty object box.

I use Visual Studio 2003 and windows 2000 professional.
I there anything else I need to know?
Do I need to sign the assembly of something?
Do I need windows server to run a proper IIS.
Could a different internal-external IP be a problem?

thnx in advance,
Paul.

I got is working now. I had to set the permission of the virutal directory
to Scripts instead of Execute, which seems pretty weird to me. Is there a
reason for this?

This is from IIS help:
a.. Scripts Enables a script engine to run in this directory without having
Execute permission set. Use Script permission for directories that contain
ASP scripts, Internet Database Connector (IDC) scripts, or other scripts.
Script permission is safer than Execute permission because you can limit the
applications that can be run in the directory. If a client sends a request
to run a script in a folder that does not have Scripts permission, the Web
server returns an error. By default, all directories created during setup
have Scripts permission.
a.. Execute Enables any application to run in this directory, including
script engines and Windows 2000 binaries (.dll and .exe files). For security
purposes, do not give content folders Execute permission.

Paul.

The reason is that when IE requests the applet DLL IIS tries to execute that
DLL as an ISAPI extension on the server. Once you tell IIS not to do that
(by setting the execute to scripts only or not allowing execution at all)
IIS will simply send the DLL to the client.
