Just updated the sample to work with RTM bits. IRT working with Cassini, you can add a new Web site, choose File System, then copy the files and referenes from the WebHost project. I'm not aware of a way to change an IIS project to a Cassini project, but there may well be a way.

Would it be posible to build a similar service, but with video files, instead of pictures?
