How to convert Sharepoint Console Applications to Web Applicationss or ASP .Net pages

Environment = WSS 3.0 sp2, Windows 2003 sp2, Visual Studio 2008.

I have 5 scripts that I've written in Visual Studio 2008 as console applications that I want to convert or port to a version that can be loaded in an .aspx page.

Right now the console applications basically are reading list information in various ways and exporting to CSV format, through scheduled tasks in windows.  I would like to have pages that could be called/loaded and do this process and deliver the CSV file to them.

Does anyone have a quick way to convert these to web pages .aspx files or perhaps some web resources that can point me in the right direction?  Do I have to write a web service (sounds complicated and my first forays into that were time consuming)...  any help would be appreciated

great thanks, are you using VS2008? or SP Designer 2007?  I can't get this to load, it's a good example of what I want to do, but I can't get it to load.  I just keep getting "Unknown Error" when the page loads.
You should be able to use VS or SPD.

Can you check your SharePoint logs in case there's anything to suggest what the problem is?
