Hi AllI have one doubt related to .NETSuppose I want to design a Centralized system with 5 branches and one head office. The HO can access all branches data.The system at all branches just track the data. Two branches are not dependent for any transaction. It can be developed as standalone deaktop application using VB.In this situation of centralized data which preferable - VB.NET or ASP.NET?Thanks in advanceNjoy Life  |

| Remember, VB.NET is a language. You can use it to develop desktop (WinForms) applications, web (ASP.NET) applications, services, console applications, etc. You can also use C#, J#, C++, etc. for any of these. That being said, your problem could be solved by either approach, but I think you will find it is better suited to a web application. A web app will be easier to maintain and update. It will also allow you to use easily HTTP, (or HTTPS) to communicate with a central data store over a WAN. There is no extra work to do. If you build a traditional client server application, you will need to invest in developing a communication channel, either via Remotting or web services . |

| If you want to migrate from vb to .NET, then create new .NET project and work with that by applying the logic used in vb application.MadhivananFailing to plan is Planning to fail |

| If there are small changes in the existing VB application, then do it in VB. If it needs major changes that force you to start from beginning then go for .NETMadhivananFailing to plan is Planning to fail |
