Hello,

I've just started on .NET and was asked if there was an easy way to convert
a VB.NET app to a web based version without having to re-code the whole
thing

Many thanks for any pointers

Regards

Jim Florence

I suspect the real answer to your question is "not really". The environments
are pretty different from each other especially if your Windows app is
primarily user interface.

However, if you have a traditional client/server application that you want
to "web enable" then a lateral-thinking solution is Citrix/Terminal Server.
Okay, so it'll cost you £10k but that's possibly comparable to re-writing
the application.

Cheers, Rob.
