Hi Everybody,
I want to start a new project to upgrade a business application I have actually coded in VB6 a long time ago. I will not be porting any code over I will be starting this new project from scratch. Obviously a lot has changed since then and I would
like to make this new application a web application that can be accessed anywhere. I am familiar with C# and ASP.NET and I am also a MSDN subscriber so I would like to use Visual Studio.
My new application has to be able to:
- Have local file access
- Execute other applications on the clients computer
- Access email
- Work with SQL server and possible upgrade to SQL Azure at a later date
I was original going to make a Silverlight application but now I have read that Silverlight is going to be obsolete. I was also looking into Lightswitch but I am not sure if this product will be supported long term and not sure if Lightswitch is robust enough. Also I have read HTML5 will have local file access as well. I was just wondering what your guys opinions were and what approached you would take. I am a single developer so the technology with rapid application development will be more attractive.
Any suggestions will be helpful, thanks.
