You are forgetting a big difference between ASP.NET and Java/Java Applets.
ASP.NET generates HTML & Javascript at the server and then sends that to the
browser, but Java Applets actually send an applet. ASP.NET is only capable
of creating pages that display what can be displayed with HTML & Javascript
(or another scripting language, but usually Javascript). An Applet is
something that is included in an HTML page, but the actual Applet is a
separate file. One of the primary purposes of ASP.NET is to allow developers
to more easily create dynamic pages that allow data from databases and other
data sources to be included, and to more easily make more complex objects
(for example, compare the ASP.NET code for the Calendar Control to the
HTML/Javascript code that is generated).

Dear All,
I have found many systems out there uses Applet to take care of real-time
data like market data, is there a way to use .Net to build something
similar to that? if there is one, from where I should look into it and
start? please advise
