Hi all

I figured I would ask here if somebody
done something similar to this since I am
new to .NET :

I need to implement a thin client; it is involves
communicating with a database and above all
displaying the information graphically allowing
the user to view the data in different ways like
in 2-d or 3-d.

What is the best approach to such a problem?

Can one do an active-x control that is downloaded
when the user loads the page and thatimplements
the GUI? or some .net control?

Since I don't want to use sockets for the
communiation instead was figuring if I could use
ASP.NET for the DB connection.

Any ideas?

TIA
/ak

PS. It will run in our intranet

Hi Ak,

When there is one thing wherefore a thin client is not the best approach
(with the momentaly standards) than it are grapical applications.

The thin client in most approaches uses as less as possible resources from a
client while those are needed for a graphical application.

Just my thought
