Show case: IFileNet had used VWG to port desktop App. full functionality to web
After IFN began to use Visual WebGui as a platform to create its next generation ECM and BPM solutions, it was only natural to use VWG in order to port hours reporting capabilities to the web.
In an accumulated month of one non-web qualified developer and some guidance from the CTO as the "expert" of the desktop system, IFN has built a thorough solution enabling hours reporting through the web maintaining the original desktop application’s hours reporting functionality including a capability of producing excel summaries using VWG.
Given Visual WebGui’s server centralized architecture, it was only natural to reuse the legacy COM business logics on the server instead of having to rewrite the code and hold more than one code base.
Solutions provided by VWG to the challenges and complexities mentioned above
- Fluency and Performance – the highly optimized
client/server communication and the smart rendering of VWG DHTML
presentation layer has provided high performance, a stable and
sustainable system.
- Date & Time picker –
WinForms (desktop) similar date and time picking controls are provided
as an out-of-the-box within VWG.
- Data Listing –
VWG is data-intensive ready and provides an enhanced data bounded
ListView and a fully editable data bounded DataGridView controls.
- Data
Entry – VWG enables the entire set of data entry controls and a
WinForms mimicked set of layout tools (i.e. anchoring, docking, panel,
group-box, tab-controls etc.)
- Application logic – VWG’s On Server Web concept simplifies the code to a single layered architecture enables managing the entire application from the server layer alone.
