how to demonstrate a c# web application on other pcs?

Question

I have developed c# .net web application and it is build on top of .NET Framework 4.0.

I have to show up my web application on my friend's PC without installing any software like Microsoft Visual Studio or IIS. In addition to the Visual Studio, i am also using MS SQL 2012 in my application.

Any suggestions how i can demonstrate my web app ?

How do you plan to run a web application without a web server? — Greg, Jan 03 '13 at 02:04
I don't need a web server right now, only one person will use it. — casua, Jan 03 '13 at 02:06
A web application needs to run on a web server (such as IIS, APACHE, etc). — Greg, Jan 03 '13 at 02:07

Voting to close. This is a nonsensical question as it stands, I'm afraid. — Noldorin, Jan 03 '13 at 02:17

In short: your web application needs to be hosted in some server (Web Server needs to be running and accessible to the PC that tries to make request to it), where your friend's PC has access.

Otherwise, you have to make a network between the PC'es.

If you never publish your web application to be hosted, here you are a good resource to look - How to upload my C# asp.net project to website(free hosting)

Just to add to this, the web server could be running on your friend's PC, it doesn't have to be a seperate computer – Greg Jan 03 '13 at 02:08
@Greg, you are right, however question says that no software/service installation is possible on friend's PC. – Yusubov Jan 03 '13 at 02:11

Because you developed a web application..so

in order to make others to visit your website without anything installed.

you should publish your web application to a server(may be some free host,or virtual host.) which install everything ..

and then your friend can visit it just like you visit some normal website..
