Hi,

I have developed large multithreaded network application using Win32
and Winsock in the past connecting to an SQL db.

How fast and robost is .NET 2.0 for creating a similar application?

I need to create an client and server application. The client
application consists of C# Window.form controls which connects to a
database. But I need the client to connect to a server application, and
the server will control access to the database as well as report other
live information.

Is C# and .NET suitable for handling the server application? It needs
to scale to handle many many connections on multiple threads.

Also the Client C# application binds to a database, but now it needs to
connect to a server application and then to the database. Do I need to
create wrapper classes for my data and perform serialization ? or is
there some other approach in .NET?



You want to build a client/server application. Yes C# and .NET are very well suited to that.

This is a very straightforward and common type of application to build in ..NET. Typically you don't code directly against TCP/IP sockets, rather use one of a few frameworks that work at a higher level and handle the plumbing for you.

The best and most robust of these is the new Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) in .NET 3.0.

Other good options are Web Services

and .NET Remoting.

All of these are substantially simpler than coding TCP/IP and provide simple mechanisms to call methods and marshal objects across networks. Of course ..NET also has easy access to TCP/IP sockets so if you really want to write code at that level, you can.
