Windows desktop appl like browser appl

[Steve Richter]

Is it possible to code a windows .net desktop application so that it
behaves like an asp.net / browser application?

Where the window form would not have x,y coordinate limits and would
have horizontal and vertical scroll bars for the user to view all the
content of the form?

And the form engine itself is able to interpret and render an HTML
input stream so that all the asp.net web and html controls could be
used to place information to the form?

I can code applications that run out of the browser from /localhost,
but that includes a lot of browser functionality I dont want and is
also cumbersome in that I have to duplicate my assemblies into each
/bin directory of each browser based application.

the property scrollable.

Thanks Salva! I am just starting on desktop .net applications so I was
not aware of Panels.

Can HTML be rendered into a Panel?

No, but you can use the AxWebBrowser control which is allows your app to
host the HTML rendering portion of IE.
