Help Getting IIS

External Since: Sep 15, 2004 Posts: 1

I want to be able to open C# program files with the localhost directory. I
have Windows XP Home edition. Do I have to have XP Pro to get IIS? Is there
any alternatives to opening C# programs on a web browser besides IIS? I
don't really understand what it is. I also don't know if I can upgrade to XP
Pro or not?
