No. OpenLayers is a *web* mapping library. I already told you to access
your page via http://localhost:8080/geoserver/www/<whatever>.

Then you have to search for or write your own proxy in asp, or configure
the built-in http server of visual studio to use geoserver in a virtual
folder (e.g. http://localhost/1234/geoserver).

You should not do that.

You need to think about deployment of your application. This could be
the key to solving your problem. Your users won't run OpenLayers off
visual studio. You will  have an httpd (in your case probably IIS), and
you need to configure that to provide GeoServer at the same origin. IIRC
this is called "Virtual Folder" (or even Proxy) in IIS.

Andreas.
