Diff betweeb vb.net Windows Application and Web Application?

Question

I am totally confused as to what to do and how to go ahead.


I am new in vb.net learning.


I have learnt html,css,php and now want to start my project for which I have learnt all these.

While making sketches for my project I come across that I have to very freequently use Grid or

DataGrid for my project along with many voucher entry forms.


Now Grids are not available readly in php (Editable Grids) .


If someone say that grids can be created in php, true, but I am not that much confident in
creating it in php.

Again I found that in vb.net (asp) data-grids are easily available (just drag and drop) and
one can customised it with the help of back-end code.

I gone through the various tutorials and my final conclusion is that I can learn it in very
short period.

Now the actual problum.

Most of the example and some very very good tutorials explain vb.net for window application
and not following web applicaion for a new learner.

Now my question is whether someone suggest me any book or ebook which explain the vb.net step by step
with the help of any Web application.

Moreover , will I be able to convert my Window project in Web project lator on.

I think i able to expalin my problum correctly, Please help me.

Thanks a lot

Answer 1

VB.net is a window application which is used for desktop application with the help of framework which is not available in VB.

ASP.net is a web application which is a server script to make web pages...



But for basic windows application can written in two ways.

one via vb called vb.net

and another via c# called c#.net

There is also j# avail there.



ASP.net too similar like this..

C# is the best one compare to VB as c# uses java concepts.



Other availabilities are console applications and ADO.NET to there.

For help on making web applications with VB.NET Google ASP.NET. ASP.NET is the underlying technology for creating web applications on the .NET Framework. You should find examples of creating ASP.NET apps in both VB.NET and C# (which are the two most common .NET languages). Remember ASP.NET is not a language, it's a web framework which is independent of the language you use.



Your statement about converting a Windows project to a web project is a little confusing. Converting from Windows to Web usually isn't straight forward since things work very differently in a web app then a desktop app. If you really plan on doing this then try to put all you data access and business logic into a Class Library project that way you can easily move all this functionality from the desktop app to the web app and just re-write the front end part.

I'm a bit confused. Do you want to create a desktop application or a web application? If a web application then use asp.net not vb.net, you seem to be confusing them. Visual studio includes a bundle of .net languages which are all different e.g. C#.net, VB.net, asp.net. Anyway which ever one it is there a myriad of ebooks at www.docstoc.com.
