Custom Stand Alone Application - installable on Windows Boxes

[Bart van den Eijnden (OSGIS)]

Hi,

maybe the .NET bindings would be your best bet, but I have no experience 
with them.

In a similar sitution last year, the company I used to work for decided 
to go for something called TatukGIS:

http://www.tatukgis.com/Home/home.aspx

I can highly recommend that as a desktop solution, and it's affordable, 
also no deployment license.

Best regards,
Bart
