What system to use for a web application?

Cnira asked:

Open original thread
I would like to create an application which would present a web user with a form to fill out, then use that information to query files on the server and return the results to the web user. I do not have a certificate which causes issues using WPF. I think what I need is asp but am not sure and when I look at the templates in vs2010 there are several for asp. Being new to the web stuff I would appreciate and suggestions you may have as to the best approach to follow. I can code the application but can't seem to navigate the choice of template and how to get it deployed on IIS v6 on server 2003. What I hope to get in a response is a recommendation of the template to use (and why) and point me to a tutorial if possible. Thank you for taking time to help me out.

To clearify based on the first answer, I have already developed an application using MS VWebDeveloper Express using a WPF template. The issues I have had were 2 fold. Deploying without a certificate was a hassel. More inportantly when I got it deployed and started it from a user system it was looking for data on the user system not the server. I thought an ASP template might be the way to go but hate to waste a lot of time building if I am wrong. Also this app does not use a database it searches flat files.
