.net equivalent of java applet

Hi,

I have a web-based application and some of the UI I want to
incorporate is just too complicated for javascript. Instead of using a
Java Applet, I would like to have the user download a .net assembly
containing a form and run that in a browser.

I'm happy for the form to run in an applet-like sandbox (cannot write
to local hard disk, can only talk to the server it came from etc).
What I don't want is for the user to have to install an application
(which is then shown in add/remove programs) or for the user to have
to tweak some complex .net security settings for it to work.

I get the impression from reading the high-level .net documentation
that this is what it's designed for, but most of the .net-based
downloads I can find are for full installing executables.

I tried wahoo from www.sellsbrothers.com but even that comes with a
whole screenfull of small print about how it runs with full trust
permissions (and I still couldn't get it to work). Anyhow, the link is
to an exe file so how is a user supposed to trust a .exe download?

I'd really appreciate any examples of this kind of modus operandi, or
documentation/discussion on how it's supposed to work and whether it
actually does so

Many thanks in advance

Most times they don't need to download it. The EXE will be run inside IE
(IE will host the CLR with the right permissions).
