migrating an app to asp

[CS]

We have a huge fat client database enabled application.
It is a MDI app with a very rich graphic interface and hundreds of different
screens and dialog windows.
There is a lot of client side processing, validation, file manipulation even
interaction with 3rd party apps (i.e Microsoft Office).
Is it possible to migrate this type of an app to run as a Web app using ASP
..Net?
Are there any 3rd party frameworks/libraries that could be used to
accomplish this?
Thank You

This is a classic asp group.
You may be better off asking the question to
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet. You may get lucky with a response
here, but I'd try the other newsgroup.

Although this newsgroup covers classic asp, and ASP.NET is a different
technology (with its own news group(s)), they both share the feature of
being server-side technologies for dynamic web applications which are
accessed by the client via a web browser. For security reasons, these
kind of applications are unable to interact with the filesystem on the
client. Consequently, the answer is no - what you describe is not
possible.
