Hi,
I am in the process of migrating an MFC based windows application to a
dotnet version. The original application was distributed and used some
complex ActiveX controls to display data graphically in scrollable charts.
I can get my head around the database access, use of web services etc but am
struggling with the best solution for the user interface. I can implement
the basics of the controls using the dot net framework and c# on a Windows
Form so am convinced that I can do it.
We had a real compatability headache using MFC based activeX controls in our
applications and are keen to reduce compatability problems. As i understand
it, i have 2 options
1) Rewrite the ActiveX controls using ATL
2) Write a 'smart client' Windows Forms application using dot net.
I'd prefer using dot net however am keen to keep the application in a
browser. Is there a way to use Windows Forms code in some sort of
downloadable client side Active-X esque control?
Many thanks
Jim
