Inplace Browser Activation of a VB.NET Windows Forms app????

Is there a way, using a browser such as Internet Explorer, to allow a user
to, access some link, and it maybe download/open a copy of a full blown fat
client Windows Forms .NET application and run it inside the browser, like
Adobe Acrobat does?

Our application is database driven and has no specific file that things are
saved to. It would need to popup the same and hit the remote database of
course.

Thanks for any advice,

Shane

Thanks for the reply. Sounds like it would be a little limited in doing what
we want to do with a full fledged app and that security would be a
nightmare.
