Re: .NET integration - windows app + asp app
His requirements were very clear:
quote:
I have a regular windows app made - VB.NET with several forms, and I'm trying to figure out how to go about deploying it as a web application, as an ASP.NET
You just can't transform a Windows app into a web-based app with a deployment tool. You can make a package for installing from a webserver, but that's a totally different thing.
A web-based app is an app where the code (or most of it) is executed on the server, while the browser acts as a GUI. Some components available for Windows-based apps just don't exist as web components (ex NotifyIcon). |

| I absolutely hate this phrase - think outside of the box.
I proposed a solution which COULD WORK. Again - it depends heavily upon his criteria and needs. It's NOT going to work as making it a "web application" - but if he just wants to be able to go to a webpage and "use" his application, it can work.
I never said transform - how about "utilize in a different way".
It was a perfectly valid idea. It may or may not work for his needs. If you don't see how then that's fine, but don't tell me that it's not a valid idea or applicable to his solution. |

If you don't see how then that's fine, but don't tell me that it's not a valid idea or applicable to his solution. It would really depend on the requirements of his application. ClickOnce is great for deploying applications because you can publish updates without having to go through a whole install process every time you make a change. However, its limitations include not being cross-platform (if his requirement is that it runs on mobile platforms, Mac, etc. this would not work) and not being a true thin client solution.
