I have just started learning C#. Can anyone explain the technical differences between a .Net desktop application and a web application? I mean for example, if I have a simple HelloWorld application using a WinForm, what are the steps required to change that into a HelloWorld web application?

What are the technical limitations with deploying an ASP.NET webserver? Can I just copy the file(s) over, restart the website, and I'm good to go?
Is this any different than what VS2010's "deploy" does?
Does it matter what "type" of project I have: a Web Site or a Web Application?

View 4 RepliesI landed on a job to continue working on exisiting asp.net 3.5 application using Visual Studio 2008. The former .net developer is no longer around and I have to dig into the application code to understand how the app works( workflow, logic, etc...)I have added new development to the existing application and enhanced existing pages. Now, I need to provide Technical documentation for the application so any new developer comes onboard will not struggle enhancing the app or do new development following the same methodology . Q1. What is the best approach to provide technical documentation.I thought of the following

View 2 RepliesIs there a technical/performance limit on the number of roles an application handles? I'm in the process of designing an application which I forsee having a lot of roles created, to be able to handle the degree of granularity the system should have (e.g., permissions per project, where there could be a lot of projects).
Would you recommend another approach other than using roles for this kind of granularity?
I'm looking for detailed technical information on the compilation process for aspx pages and vs2008.Recently I have been learning about controlbuilders and pageparserfilters. I have downloaded some code to clean out extra white spaces in my html in order to make the pages smaller. The code works great, but I don't understand WHY it works. I need to learn more about the page compilation process.
View 1 RepliesI've been worked with web services so far, and I'm interested in expanding my services to console applications as well so I started digging up with WCF but I'm conserned that I won't be able to use the HttpContext collection that I've been used to do with web services one important thing which is to generate a random value from HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["ALL_HTTP"] that I need to reckon if it's the same or at least near what machine that is calling my service. How can I overcome this problem?
I need to know what machine is calling to count the number of attempts to login into my system for example. So must do it inside of the svc code otherwise if I let the client inform what ip address or what computer he is using, anyone could forge this argument and surpass by another machine. May be I'm approaching this matter wrongly. And I should count the number of attempts per state session, but how is it done?
Our corporate intranet is designed so that each web application is a child application in the primary application.. Everything has worked fine with Visual Studio 2008 and even in 2010 running the website locally works great, the output directory for the child apps is ..in and the ProjectName.dll copies to that directory.. When I do a publish however it does not and I have to manually copy the dll from the bin folder in the project folder to the parent bin folder, this isn't hard of course but more of a pain in the butt each time I need to publish something. I made sure the output directory is correct for both debug and release yet on publish is just copies it to the child bin and not the parent bin as needed.
View 2 RepliesI just added System.Web reference to a dll assembly, the assembly is for windows applications and for web applications. IF the assembly will be deployed on a server, System.Web will be shared using GAC, and there is no overhead. But what about windows clients. I am wondering if there are extra resources or any kind of problems when System.Web is loaded into memory?

View 6 RepliesI have a desktop application which uses BTree/Random Access files for it's core database function. It has run successfully from DOS up to 64bit Windows 7/8 for years now. Currently being developed and maintained with PDS 7.1/VB6 and VB.NET
I now have a fundamental requirement to add/delete/update records using a browser. My users need to host their own server in their office. They have a public facing IP address. Ideally the server should be a desktop machine (W7/8 64bit) which can be used to run the desktop app as well.
Low loading; possibly 100 - 200 requests per hour.
I cannot switch to a SQL type product as this would break my desktop app (proprietary BTree/Random Access architecture)
I am leaning to writing an HTTP server in VB.NET (there are many examples available and even some components).
I'm about to embark upon learning how to create a web site(in fact I am about to create a website for our company) which will enable users to place an order on our system. I already have a desktop, C# WPF, application that has some of the classes I am going to require in the MVC architecture of this new website. Can anyone advise me of the best practise to reuse these classes in the website. If I was going to create a new app I would refactor the classes out of the desktop app into a class library then add this to my new app by adding an existing project (my class library) to my solution but that option does not seem to exist in creating a website?

Is it possible to connect to a Remote Desktop from my ASP.net (I easily done it in .net windows application with a 4 line code and"Windows Terminal Service Control")application, If so can you guide me through it.

View 6 RepliesI am trying to develop a web application(Using ASP.NET and c#) that uses a specific database hosted on web server. I will have another desktop application that will use a local database. Both databases have same structure and data at start up. Then databases will change when users add data to web application and an employee adds data to the desktop application. After a while I have to sync both databases.
What will be best way to do this? Is there any opensource example/ starter kit to start with?

View 1 RepliesI would like to embed a Remote Desktop session within my browser. I must use remote desktop because my clients can't install any additional software on the server.
Here are some problems that I can already foresee:
1) I believe that I can embed an RDP ActiveX control, but then all I could support is IE. And even then, IE lockdown may forbid ActiveX controls.
2) I don't know anything about Apple computers, but I presume that they don't inherently run RDP?
3) I think there are ways to run RDP through a Java control. I don't have experience to know if this is a good or bad idea. I suppose that Java may even be disabled on some browsers, but don't know if this is a common case?
