ASP.NET developers build rich management system using the VWG extension
When The Center for Organ Recovery & Education (CORE) decided they needed a web application to allow easy access to the expenses management system they initially went to ASP.NET web forms combined with CSS. The outcome, however, was not satisfying enough as it appeared bland and lacked in richness. So in order to enrich the UI and give the web application some glitz, Visual WebGui was selected. Visual WebGui provided the needed richness and the familiar Windows look and feel also made the transition for the desktop users very easy.

Tips for IT Security in RIAs
Rich internet applications are growing fast in the business and enterprise application landscape as more and more software managers and corporate decision makers are electing to place rich internet applications (RIA's) into their organizations. But with the many advantages of rich internet applications over the client/server deployments, organizations also find many new aspects they need to master and overcome - one of them is understanding the new security vulnerabilities of the rich web based applications and taking the right measurments to protect their systems.

WPC 2011: Move your mission-critical/Enterprise apps to the Cloud
Come and visit us tomorrow at WPC LA 2011 and learn how to move your mission-critical/Enterprise apps to the Win Azure Cloud.
Tomorrow (July 13) at Microsoft’s Worldwide Partner Conference (WPC) we'll be presenting our innovative migration solution Instant CloudMove. We’ll be showcasing (at the Windows Azure Building Blocks demo station) the unique tools for moving business client/server applications such as é.VISOR by Limón GmbH to Azure Cloud. The original application is a data-centric energy monitoring system developed as Client/Server Windows Forms with Access DB. We’ll explain how we moved the desktop application to Win Azure with Visual WebGui Instant CloudMove technology within 1 month whilst maintaining all exiting functionalities and user experience.
This will take place at 1:15-3:30 PM PDT at the Windows Azure Building Blocks demo station, located in the front of the Windows Azure booth. We’ll have our own station which will be located under the monitors which display “Building Blocks in the Public Cloud” -
State Management - Overcoming Data-Centric RIA Challenges
The 3rd chapter of the major challenges we pinpoint when coming to develop data-centric rich internet applications discusses state management. A major part of any web-app developers process, is to decide whether or not to keep the state of a particular control or function and what data to retrieve from the server. While with stateful environment developers work within a structured, well-defined and visual environment in a stateless environment developers work in a fluid environment and have to take critical decisions and choices by themselves. The stateless environment is much more complex and risky as the developer also needs to write explicit code for each element based on their decision. Visual WebGui offers a solution that unlike ASP.NET and most web frameworks is stateful.

Transformation of Client/Server application to Windows Azure
The economics of IT is changing rapidly, and organizations are searching to widen and secure availability of their systems and at the same time lower costs. The cloud concept was introduced to allow an IT consumption model where there is always as much computing power as needed when needed ('on-demand') and without having to invest in connectivity, servers, database access, storage space, CPU power and other infrastructure needs, just as we consume electricity.

Academy Webcast: Moving C/S applications to Windows Azure
The Cloud and SaaS models are changing the face of enterprise IT in terms of economics, scalability and accessibility. As I wrote before Visual WebGui Instant CloudMove transforms your Client / Server application code to run natively as .NET on Windows Azure and enables your Azure Client / Server application to have a secured-by-design plain Web or Mobile browser based accessibility.

How Visual WebGui helps ASP.NET Cloud-based apps
Everyone is talking about Cloud computing and moving to the cloud (public or private), but very few have actually done it so far. The reason is that the process of migrating existing applications to the cloud is a lot more complicated than one might think which is exactly where the Visual WebGui technology comes in for a rescue.
In the past year the Visual WebGui R&D Team have been intensively working on a tool-based solution that gives Microsoft application developers and enterprises a simpler way to migrate Client-Server applications to the Cloud based on ASP.NET. And now we are proud to present the Visual WebGui Instant CloudMove, which is the only solution that transforms desktop applications’ code to the cloud, in addition to web and mobile deployments.
