Good morning,
I have surprised myself by creating a wonderful little app in VB Express Edition 2005 that reads SQL data, allows the user to use various filters, calculates fields, updates the datavaiew/dataset, and exports data to Excel. Between each of the three pages the app creates a xml file of the data.
I have now downloaded Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition as I would like the application to be available on the web.
Am I right in thinking that effectively I have to re-write everything within VWB, or can I just put a VWB 'front end' on my existing code etc Is there a resource simple enough to take me through what's needed I have SBS 2k3 on my home server.
Many thanks,
Dix

Dix, this looks like it might help you port your application to web developer.

By much browsing through the VSD2005EE help index, I found this "Walkthrough: Basic HTML Editing in Visual Web Developer". It shows how to edit HTML in Source view among other things.
But what I really want is a conversion from a windows form(with graphics, text, whatever on it) directly to an html file that I can ftp to my isp's server. Sadly, this doesn't seem to exist. At least I have not found it yet.

Hi,
From your post, i have understood that you have developed a Win forms application using VB Express edition and now you want the app to be available on web. If this is true, then you can re-use the Data access layer[DAL] and business rules layer. I wont say that you can re-use it entirely but atleast some of the direct functions can be re-used in DAL layer. Again, depends on how you design. You can build web interface for this app and try to start with basic functionality of the app.
One more thing is, your post is highly generic and most of the members will not be in a position to reply with answers. Because no one knows about your present architecture to be able to help you fully...
Hope my reply helps you...If you think that your post is answered, then go ahead and click on "Mark as Answer" button to mark it as answered. You can always reopen the post by clicking on "Unmark as Answer".
Thank you,

Ok, I have written an application using e.Graphics.Drawstring code that generates a pretty 1 screen report on my windows form. Now I want to convert this to html, so I can publish it to my personal webpage. What is the easiest way to do this conversion Can VB2005EE do this itself, or do I need Visual Web Developer, or both My personal webpage is on my isp's server. I know how to ftp an html file to the server.
I imagine Dix is confused as I am about "data access layer(DAL) & Business Rules Layer". I found nothing about these "layers" in VD2005EE's help index Links to newbie-level explainations would be helpful. Web developer is all new to me. I last used MS GW Basic! Are you old enough to have used that

Hi,
DAL layer is nothing but the classes where you have code which reads and writes to database. Business layer is the place where you have the classes which has business logic for your applicaiton. Hope this clarifies.
Thank you,
Bhanu.
