I have an application that is written in VB.NET, using the System.Windows.Forms.Form as the front-end GUI.
It runs perfectly on my Windows machine however recently there is a business requirement to convert this application to run as a web application so that people could view them in their blackberries when they go to the URL.
Is there any quick way to perform such a conversion or I will have to translate the code line-by-line for such cases?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!
No, not that meets your requirements. You can build custom winforms controls that can be hosted in internet explorer, but that won’t help users accessing your app from a blackberry.
No, it’s much worse than that. Many of the things you do in a Winforms app just won’t translate to the web well. You’ll have to re-write and re-think a lot of your existing code. Essentially, you’re not only re-building the app from from scratch, but you’re doing it for a platform with which you have no prior experience. In other words, it might even take longer than building the original.
I know it’s not what you were hoping to hear, but thems the breaks.
