Windows Form

[coolwhizkid2001]

Hi,
I am migrating my code from java applets to .net world. Through
researching on net and going through various groups. I see there are
two solutions:-
1) J# browser control
2) window Forms.

I am sticking to window forms to complete my task. Regarding that I
have following questions:-

i) Currently my application is composed of three applets and these
applets communicate with each other. In java world, I am using
NetScape Javascript object, but I think it is pretty unstable and
crashes my browser several times.
Is there alternate to it in .NEt (i.e. can my applets be replaced by
window forms and will these window forms be able to communicate
through some mechanism on the client side).

ii) I understand that to successfully execute these win forms within
my client, I need to change the permission settings and give full
trust to local intranet. This process is manual and if my application
needs to be sent across to many clients then they will have to do
these manual steps. Is there any way, I can change the zone security
permissions (programatically or by distributing the script).

Thanks a lot...

Hi there,

I'm not sure if I've missed something here - I'm not a .net expert by any
means, but Windows Forms applications DON'T run in a browser. Windows Forms
applications are standalone as far as I'm aware. The .Net browser technology
is ASP.net, but thats quite different from the Applet model that you've been
used to - where a fully interactive program runs within the browser.

Have I maybe misunderstood what you are meaning.

Someone please feel free to correct me if I have just mislead this poor
chap!
