Need guidance and proposal of design and implementation for an e-voting (electronic voting) system

[bahareh655]

Hi all! I want to design and implement an e-voting(electronic voting) system with two computers(one as server and the other as client) under windows; What technology or programming model do you suggest me for this purpose? I'm not familiar with network programming models in windows and need help of experience people! One guy have suggested me to create an ActiveX on client and communicate with server through COM, what do you think about it? Please help me!!! Best Regards.

Personally, I'd probably approach it by exposing a web-service[^] interface on the server that the client could use. I wouldn't use COM because I've heard too many painful things about configuring COM to work across multiple machines. But that's just my prejudices :-O

Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p
