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?

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.

ASP.Net / SQL Server. I guess...
I didn't get any requirements for the signature
So SilverLight did not replace ASP.NET:)

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.

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...

Do you know the trouble I have trying to get a whatever-and-bacon sandwich in America where the bacon is still soft and chewey???? Everyone wants to turn it into charcoal!

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

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.

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:
I think they meant to say that Silverlight is going away because nobody's using it.

Yes the only problem with it was it was too slow that time and it needed better hardware. I think it should have been released 5 years back, probably it would have took off. Timing is very important for technology.

Yes, and also there were security issues related to this technology.

Jystad, 2001if you use Silverlight for all the cool sound/video/3D graphics, I can see why yo might think it's going away, but if you look at teh socket support, local communication etc, it solves alot of problem associated with business web apps. That said, Asp.Net is still the host and somethings cannot yet be done in Silverlight , so it's not going to replace it, but it's ability to argument it are pretty impressive.

Yeah, in rather the same way that VB6 has been deprecated :) ..and yes, it seemed like a good idea to ask for arguments that support the claim being made. The technologies do not only noy compete, they also target different platforms. I'd go as far as saying that WinForms, WPF, DirectX, ASP.NET and Silverlight complement each other.

I thought that was what you were doing: "ASAP.NET is going away!" "No it's not!" "Yes it is!" "Is not!" "Is so!" :-D ;P
