Advice for Porting existing VB.NET App to ASP.Net Web Application

I am looking for any advice on migrating an existing VB.Net application to ASP.Net.
What is the easiest method for moving the GUI forms to ASP.Net?
The forms only use standard winform controls that come with VS studio 2003.
What kind of problems should I Expect? Any pitfalls?

Thanks.

Hello,

Thanks for posting in the group.

Currently you want to migrate a windows forms VB.NET application to a
ASP.NET VB.NET application, right?

The programming model of Windows forms application and web form application
is quite different. The execution sequence is different in web application.
People only discuss the migration from asp application to asp.net
application. For Winform application to Webform application, I think we may
need to construct the design of application from the very beginning.

In MSDN online libray, we can get a lot of resource on asp.net programming.
I am glad to introduce some good references to you:

1) Creating ASP.NET Web Applications

2) Windows Forms and Web Forms Recommendations

rmsWebForms.asp ?frame=true

3) Creating Web Applications and Services

edAppsVB.asp?fr ame=true

4) Good articles in ASP.NET programming

Hope that helps.

Hi people Part of the reason I have started using Python (experience: 3 days) is that I recognise the potential benefits in using it compared to writing C/C++ code. In particular, there are a couple of modules in an application that I am writing that I have calculated will be up to ten times quicker to develop (although it is hard to say at this stage), which is obviously quite attractive. The "problem" I have is relating to the...

Hi all; A few years ago, I set about porting a PHP application from MySQL to PostgreSQL, after realizing that MySQL wasn't going to be able to handle it. In order to do this, I built a light, fast database abstraction layer which conforms to the behavior of the MySQL functions in PHP. This means that a large amount of porting work could be made simple using this porting layer if the application was originally used PHP's native MySQL...

I have an old existing website with a Header/ Left Hand Menu and a iframe as the main body content, adjacent to the menu.

Hello, I find myself in the, for me, unusual (and at the moment unique) position of having to write a web application. I have quite a lot of existing Python code that will form part of the business logic. This relies on 3rd party libraries (such as numpy) which would make porting to e.g. IronPython difficult (I would imagine). I was thinking LAMP (the P standing for Python, of course), particularly as I was originally encouraged to go...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
