Rick,
In addition to Scott, be aware that the ASPNET architecture is true physical
3 tier while a windowforms is standard a physical 2 tier.
This means that the application you create is the middle tier, which is used
by all your client with the general UI client their browser. This means that
if you have created layers (by instance a DAL or a BLL) which uses shared
(static in C#) Data than that will be used by all clients, this can make
quite a mash of it, if this is by the client updatable data.

Quick background, we are upgrading our old Access Application. We have
upgraded the "backend" or data layer to SQL Server 2005. Currently we have
the previous Access frontend linked via ODBC and are working on creating a
new Frontend. The frontend only needs to be accessed via the company
intranet, but in the future we would like to open up access for clients to
view certain data.
For these reasons we wish to use ASP.net, to have a Smart Client.
Currently
we have designed a DAL and BLL using typed datasets with the Dataset
designer.
But as we step through a section of our application, we are noticing VAST
inadequacies with the web controls and the winform. I.E Combo boxes do not
exist, the postbacks etc. We have tried some of the AJAX enabled controls
but
they do not take away all the issues.
I have a couple questions, and I'm not sure if this the best forum for
answers to these questions but any help, even which forum would be better
suited for me is appreciated.
1. Can we use the typed Datasets we have created with the custom BLL with
Vb.net. I have yet to see any examples? Can someone point me in the
direction
of where the information to do this would be. In theory with a muti-tiered
application I should be able to keep those layers completely independent
and
use either ASP.net or VB.net correct?
2. Is Microsoft going to take the Atlas/AJAX controls a step further? Or
is
there something we can use. I am sure the VB.net controls are much richer
because they do not depend on the Windows Web form, but I cannot propose
to
roll out an application that makes data entry more difficult. Any ideas on
how to streamline a ASP.net Web application to make it seem more desktop
based? If I can keep the DAL and BLL the same, writing in VB.net and then
in
a year another rewrite is acceptable, but if we need to re-write those
layers
as well I will have to look at another plan of attack.
Thanks ahead of time.
