I have a VB6 client/server application that we would like to convert to a
web app using .NET technologies. My question is, is it possible to convert
the app to .NET and a WEB app without loosing any functionality or the look
and feel of the application as it looks and works now?
 
Mike,
In general I would say NO. But It is possible to be converted without a big
effort depending on your app.
For web, I would say definitely NO because the changes are BIG. On the other
side But the functionality if big too (a lot improved).
I recommend to start new project in .Net and only migrate what is necessary.
Specially because at the beginning you would not know well the Language, The
IDE and All.
Does the effort Worth starting working with .Net now?
YES
Good luck

Most probably (almost sure) No.

Just my thoughts,

I'm not worried about the .NET ide and VB.NET language since i've been using
the IDE and C# for about a year now. I was just looking for the efficient
and easiest way to convert this app without re-writing the entire thing or a
good portion of it
 
I'm thinking the same Cor. I was just wondeirng though to make my job
easier.
and since i was successful in coverting a VB6 to Classic ASP without loosing
anything, i was hoping i could do the same with .NET
 
Hi Mike,

But maybe I did made a mistake. You wrote web app. and I thought direct to a
webform.

But by using the webservice you can probably make a web application as you
asked for.

The web is than an extention of your network, the client is the normal
windows form.

thats sounds good and i might try this, but we want this all web based so
the customer no longer has to install the application onto their pc's
