Ok, I have a funky situation here. The client has an existing windows
application that they want exposed via their c# asp.Net application. The
windows app is not .Net based and we do not have the source code for it.
Their thought is to have the app running on the web server and essientally
screen-scrape it two-ways (data in and data out) on their web app. They want
to recreate the basic field layout (even including tab-order) on the web
page and then have the submitted data submitted to the windows app. All of
this done on the fly of course.
Now, I've been in Web development for a number of years but have never heard
of anything like this working. The reason behind this is the windows app is
known and liked in the target community and would take too long to recreate
each screen (300+ pages).
Any advice anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated.
