convert web form to windows form
-
Hi, I've just spent weeks making a huge 'wizard' type form for a client and then they phone me today and tell me they want it as a windows form because its costing them too much money entering the data on the internet :rolleyes: What I really want is a utility for converting web forms to windows forms but since I realise this may not exist can anyone offer me any tips on how to convert it. What I really need is longhorn here now and XAML. :(( tia

Sorry, I don't have an answer to help you. I see a lot of rework ahead of you and it's not pretty. :sigh: --Colin Mackay--

If you get REALLY (and I mean REALLY) desperate, you could host your ASP.NET solution on each machine :). I'd look at it as a learning opportunity, and a chance to do a UI exactly how you want it ;).
I, for one, do not think the problem was that the band was down. I think that the problem may have been that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being crushed by a dwarf.

Hi Colin, Unfortunatley we got the money up front, which seemed like a good idea at the time because it was good money :( I can convert most of the form fields to their windows equivalent with a find and replace and most of the form logic is well encapsulated. The only real problem is then I've got to position all the form fields, actucally that is a nightmare because theres over a 100 textboxes and groups of radio buttons etc etc. Cheers.

-David St. HubbinsActually thats a very good idea, I remember hearing something about 'Cassini' and hosting asp.net runtime in a windows form. Im just worried thats theres some big gotcha that will bring the whole idea to a halt. Has anybody had any success with that approach.
