Can a VC++ application be converted to the web?
-
Lets say you have a simple project in VC++. Is there an easy way (or a way) to compile that project so that the program can be run as a web application? If so, we visual studio compiler do you need to do this. Please, any response any one can give me will be greatly appreciated.

No there isn't an easy way to do it. You must redesign the application as a Web one (that is, roughly speaking, a client/server one). :)

This is of course going to depend on what the C++ applicaiton is doing, and how (of if) it is communicating with other modules. If it is talking to Hardware, doing DCOM, and generally being very much part of a PC, then no. It is impossible. If it isnt, then how about just importing the code into a C# project? (And doing the necessary syntax changes)
============================== Nothing to say.

I was going to say "it depends", but you were more eloquent about it! :thumbsup: :-D

With that said, why not reply directly to the OP, because he won't otherwise receive any email notification of your post (which might actually be of benefit).

As others have said, no, not in any universal way. However, Google's browser Chrome can now run plugins written in C or C++ through their Native Client. You'd have to use their modified GCC compiler, and it would only work in Chrome, but would let you re-compile to a web app.
