ASP.NET life remaining
-
I overheard a conversation at the office this morning in which someone claimed to know that ASP.NET is "going away" in favor of Silverlight. Now did i miss an announcement somewhere or did someone at my office get snookered by the Silverlight marketing team?

Why would it? They're not competing technologies :) --edit-- Accidentally someone who predicted that desktop applications would disappear in favor of web-enabled applications?
I are Troll :suss:

Sounds like somebody's been the victim of "a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing". Just because they both get displayed via a web page doesn't mean they are competing technologies - they are aimed at solving different things.

However, I know of few people who created standard LOB applications with ASP.Net but have switched to Silverlight.

Depends on your target market for your applications.

Yes, and Java Applets changed the web ... Really unfortunate too, Java Applets had some amazing potential.

Flash took over most of it. Now Silverlight wants some share of it.

Then they probably didn't need to be web apps in the first place... Some people just hop on whatever is trendy. ;-)
Businesses do web applications so they don't have to worry about installing the .net framework on the clients. I don't think it is a big deal, but this why it is done that way.

It didn't make any sense to me, but I just wanted to make sure i didn't miss an announcement about MS killing asp.net.

ASP.Net / SQL Server. I guess...

So SilverLight did not replace ASP.NET:)

To say ASP.NET is getting replaced by SilverLight is not entirely correct as they are not competing technologies. SilverLight is a technology aimed at replacing some of Dynamic HTML rendering and provide rich media applications. Now SIlverLight 3 has support for controls such as DataGrid and charts, so some LOB applications instead of using HTML forms can use Silverlight based forms. But the task still remains to post data from the client to the server and do something to the data. For these tasks ASP.NET or any other server technology is still needed. If you are using windows and IIS ASP.NET is the one of the better choice. ASP.NET webforms can be replaced with SilverLight but not the server side infrastructure of ASP.NET.

Well, yeah, that works. Just like going with a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich means you don't have to worry about burning the bacon. I guess it beats Java Applets. Or ActiveX...

Totally agree with this. Java Swing has most futures then, let say, MFC from visual point of view but it’s all web.

Back in 2002 someone told be that VB.net was the future and C# would be phased out.
