New project - webforms v silverlight v wpf
Hi, I want the dev team to start looking at the next version of a CRM based SOA application and thorny Application End End issue.
The application is currently a composite application using
- Web Forms (.net2)
- Sharepoint 2003
- InfoPath *
- BizTalk
* Not FormsServer though - it was before FormServer when we cracked the ProgID in HTTP to run the XSD on the server for InfoPath and puncture the data in that on load.
We're looking at moving to an MVC or MVVM model since we have web services and a database to interact with, and we can see that the move to that architecture is good since 3.5 and Linq (although we have key tables to manage one for a lot of relationships that don't seem to work that well with LinqToSQL or EF ... but I'm digressing)
So, we are in the point of view of what would be useful for the contact center receiving at these points
- We must have a web server version to deploy (?) XBAP can reduce this
- Visulization v Speed ββ(WPF / SilverLight v WebForms and Grids)
So it was interesting if someone else faced this dilemma, give hints and which one will you choose based on your experience?
EDIT Thanks for the links to Prism and the EP site - looked at this already - hoping for some real experiments ...
