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. Another option is to play a game.
I've been reading that what I probably want to do is replace the windows shell and have it run my app when the OS loads. I'd also have to disable the task manager.
This is a multipart question.
- Can I use dotnet to create this?
- What OS do I have to use? I keep seeing windows xp embedded pop up in my readings
- Will there be any issues with the app occasionally loading IE?
- Are there any other tasks that I should be aware of when doing this? Other than task manager and replacing the shell.
- 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...
