Windows Kiosk App

Question

So, I need to build a kiosk type of application for use in an internet cafe. The app needs to load and display some options of things to do. One option is to launch IE to surf

Answer 1

•Can I use dotnet to create this?

You can use .NET.

•What OS do I have to use? I keep seeing windows xp embedded pop up in my readings

you can use any OS

•Will there be any issues with the app occasionally loading IE?

in fact you can host IE control on your winform/wpf application, so no need to open IE.

•If I can do it in c#, is there anything in particular that I should know about? Maybe my forms have to inherit certain classes, etc...

there is nothing particular about kiosk application. just you need to have you app on top of everything even taskbar. hide minimize/restore/close buttons. provide a alternate way to close your app eg. by key combination
