If I want to access only the document library of SharePoint Foundation from a .Net application (not a web app) using APIs (not web services), then is it possible to install SharePoint Foundation without IIS?
I am afraid that IIS is a requirement, SharePoint won't even install without it.
No. SharePoint is basically an IIS/ASP.Net HTTP module and request handler.

I have a local web application which is running on IIS (on windows server 2012) since 2014 and using .NET framework.
Is there a way to host this web application in SharePoint Online ?
Thank you !
I don't think you can migrate your ASP.NET Web Application to SharePoint Online, you have to rebuild it from the scratch in SharePoint Online.
Thanks & Regards,
I have created a provider-hosted app which was developed and tested against SharePoint Online. I now want to install this on SharePoint 2013 On Premise.
It is my intention that, despite being a provider hosted app, I wish to host the app web in IIS on the SharePoint server (single farm not a cluster). I then intend to use a local URL for my App Web URL.
I understand the process of setting up an App Catalog (On SharePoint Online) as a repository for my App which in turn will enable users to add it to a site.
I have only been able to find a guide to setup On Premise SharePoint to allow users to use the SharePoint store but I only want to set it up for third party apps.
My question is do I need to go through all the steps in this link https://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/fp161236.aspx even if I don't want/require store access? I don't not want to do more than necessary and I would prefer a simple solution for my clients.
I followed this guide https://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/fp161234.aspx in the hope that creating the app catalog would be sufficient but I get the error "Sorry, apps are turned off. If you know who runs the server, tell them to enable apps."
I want to know if there are any projects that use DNN 7 to interact with SharePoint 2013. The SharePoint 2013 is a Provider hosted. For the setup, DNN would be installed on the same server as the App server and SharePoint 2013 on a separate server. Normally, I would create a SharePoint app that would be installed on the App server. I want to do the same using DNN as the framework with the module as the SharePoint App. Is this possible? I would assume so since SP2013 uses client model. Should I create the SharePoint App project and included it in my DNN project?
Thanks in advance.
You can embed SharePoint apps in DotNetNuke by making use of a html module that embeds your app in an iframe element. But since your apps can be hosted on any web hosting stack, you can even probably create a DotNetNuke module that is a Sharepoint app.
You will have to register your app with Azure ACS and with the App Management Service of the SharePoint farm or SharePoint Online tenancy, to be able to establish communication.
Then, to access Sharepoint, you will have to pass an access token in each HTTP request that you can obtain from Microsoft Azure Access Control Service.

Current App and website environment;
ASP.NET app written in C# hosted on a Windows web server and linked to from a site hosted on a SharePoint 2010 server.
Purpose of App;
Download link calls a downloader that generates a custom signed build of the app and logs the download to a SharePoint list.
Site has been redesigned and migrating to SharePoint 2013, looking at a provider-hosted solution for the ASP.NET app and I was wondering if it is possible to generate a build with/on an Azure solution.
Thanks!
Yes is possible.
The only thing which you have remember is add in your App a clientWebPart. And configure it with url to your asp.net site.
Because when you add your app in page, you must go add how Client App Part or WebPart.
Can you use a Provider-hosted apps and an Autohosted apps for Office 365? How? You write server side code in them, so how can they work with Online?
You can use provider hosted apps and autohosted apps with SharePoint Online. They work because your server side code is not hosted on SharePoint - in case of Autohosted apps your code is hosted on Azure web site, in case of provider hosted some provider hosts it. So basically in your SharePoint site you have "link" wrapped in app package which points to external web site. External web site can use some features of SharePoint (for example get its data or use chrome control).
