  Proposed Web Application Solution.. Sounds OK? Reply Contact Hello! My company is in the prelimanary stages of planning a new application that will be a hosted web app as well as have the need to be on Laptops. I am thinking of creating one web app and having the Laptop users have IIS installed on their machines so we are developing one application instead of a Web version and a WinForms version. My thinking is a browser is just another container to host a language, in this case HTML and Javascript with C#  on the server side. IN the past, a team had developed an app were all the controls were defined in an XML file and depending on the platform, it would dynamically generate either an HTML form or a Win Form. But this approached sucked.. Each version looked horrible since the strengths of each platform could no be fully utilized easily. I think we should stay with the VS Web forms designer and build one app. Sound reasonable?  Also, can only IIS 5.1 run on WIndows XP Pro? IIS 7 cannot be installed on XP Pro? Thanks!

  Re: Proposed Web Application Solution.. Sounds OK? Reply Contact  Yes, there would be a local database. I am viewing the browser is just another way to host a language that happens to be a webpage in this case. The driving force behind this proposed approach is so that the locally installed version is pretty much the same as the hosted. With the new jQuery libraries and controls available from vendors like Telerik, a web page is not much different then a WIn Form app now. So the app in this case would consist of the locally installed website and local database.  Thanks for your response! Harold   Harold Chattaway Software Engineer www.Bugcentral.com
