new app

[Wendy Elizabeth]

I am new to visual studio.net 2005. What I need to do at my new job is to
write an application where users can enter data into 'screens'. The data that
is entered will end up in excel spreadhseets. Once the data is entered into
the excel spreadsheets, I will then export the data to vartious sql server
2005 databases for processing.
This application is not suppose to be a web aplication. The application is
suppose to be like an 'exe' that someone can click on and then execute.
I am wondering how to accomplish this task and what security issues would
I need to be aware of.
Also when the 'exe' is deployed, what .net features would need to be
inlucded in the deployment package?

Are you asking about desktop, Windows XP or Vista, development or Windows
CE? This group's topic is the .NET *Compact* Framework, not the .NET
Framework. Generally, though, I'd guess that you would create a new .NET
Framework application, add various forms to it, as you develop them and
arrange for one to trigger another with your program code. Just plain,
old-fashioned programming. The program would only work on a target machine
that had the .NET Framework of a suitable version on it. Which version
would be required would depend on which controls and language features you
used in your code.
