Challenge:

BeeHyv Software undertook the conversion of the existing software from a Windows Forms application written in VB.Net to an ASP.Net web application. The existing desktop application has a very rich user interface with a number of advanced features. One of the core requirements for this application was that it should have a UI as rich as the Windows application.  Building a web browser based interface with the same set of advanced features was a challenging task. A web application is usually much less responsive than a desktop application because most of the actual processing is done on the server. There is usually some delay caused by the network between the client and the server.

Solution:

BeeHyv developed an AJAX based ASP.NET application that satisfied all the requirements for the user interface. Advanced controls from the AJAX control toolkit were used along with Infragistics web controls to develop a Web 2.0 application that was both responsive and rich.
