| I will start to make an application with Visual Studio.NET and SQL server. I don't know where to put my question, so please remind me if I need te be somewhere else.My questions:1) How should I make the application: As a webpage or as an EXE file?I want to make the application side of the project as a webpage. The most important reason for it is two fold: People can work at home to work in the app, IMO it's easier to change the app when necesary. 2) Where do I find *good* forums for VS.NET development?I really love this forum. This is the best one I found ever. All my SQL questions are answered here, but I dare not post my ASP.NET questions here (except this one).3) The SQL server is on the same computer as the ASP.NET and the IIS. Is this really unwise (approx 40 concurrent users at the same time)?Thx for your time!!Henri |

| 1. Ok2. I'd try http://www.aspmessageboard.com/forum/aspplus.asp.3. That really depends on hardware, etc. Sorry for the cop out answer but it does :( Post your specs and maybe we can provide additional information.===============================================Creating tomorrow's legacy systems today.One crisis at a time. |

| Here's my thoughts1) I've always felt that if there was some doubt about making an executable application or a web application, make a web application (partly for the reasons you've already mentioned).2) My favorite ASP.NET site is 4GuysFromRolla. They're in my opinion the best ASP site. They also have an ASP FAQs and ASP Messageboard site, as well as an ASP.NET specific site. See links:http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/http://www.aspfaqs.com/http://www.aspmessageboard.com/3) The answer to this question is always "it depends". I run both setups (IIS & SQL on separate machines, as well as IIS and SQL on the same machine) where I work, mainly because of some wacky federal government regulations that require us to run some particular applications all on one server (don't ask). I think smaller sites can run slightly faster on the same machine. For larger web applications it's best to avoid that. I'd just monitor the performance for a while. The other consideration is security - web servers are much easier targets than database servers.--"I'm always doing that. I'm always messing up some mundane detail." |
