Microsoft .NET is a platform for the Next Generation of Internet technologies. .NET is a set of Microsoft software technologies for connecting your world of information, people, systems, and devices. It enables an unprecedented level of software integration through the use of XML Web services: small, discrete, building-block applications that connect to each other—as well as to other, larger applications—via the Internet. .NET connected software delivers what developers need to create XML Web services and stitch them together. The benefit to individuals is seamless, compelling experiences with information sharing.
Microsoft .NET expands opportunities to act on data and communicate anywhere, anytime, on any device. .NET connected software uses a distributed computing model and builds on open standards like XML to connect PCs and other smart devices.
IMA-DATING can build web services, desktop applications and web-enabled software to run on your Microsoft 2000 or XP Advanced Server platform using the C# or Visual Basic .NET languages.
Use ASP.NET for New Web Projects
.NET is the most powerful web development platform ever created. It promises to further cement Microsoft’s dominance in the web development market. Using the .NET platform, more powerful projects can be developed more rapidly than ever before. The result is that your applications may not only be more feature rich but can be delivered in less time and at a lower cost. We suggest using .NET for all new web development.
Add .NET Technology to Existing Web Systems
.NET functionality can be added to your existing ASP sites. ASPX pages and ASP pages can simultaneously reside on the same server as part of the same site. We now add pages to existing ASP sites using the new .NET technology. This provides for a smooth transition from existing ASP sites to .NET
Migrate Systems from the LAN to the Web
With .NET, almost any feature that can be included in a traditional client-server application can now be included in a web application. Web applications generally have fewer deployment and support issues than legacy client-server applications. By migrating client-server applications to .NET web applications, you may be able to substantially reduce your support costs. Once a web application is deployed, it is immediately available to all authorized users. Upgrades are instantaneous. Data can be stored in one location for easy backup.
Upgrade Older Desktop Systems To .NET
Many applications written in VB6 or earlier versions fail to take advantage of the new functionality available .net. These applications can be upgraded and/or web enabled. Now might be a good time upgrade some of these legacy applications.
Reevaluate Deployment Alternatives
Projects that are in the early stages of development using Microsoft development platforms (or other development products) should be evaluated to determine if they should be deployed using the .NET platform. .Net development is considerably faster than traditional development and offers functionality far beyond the scope of any previous development tool. Many projects can be effectively redirected to .Net—even while in development.
