ASP.NET Web Client Highlights

The following list discusses the highlights of ASP.NET Web Client applications that are generated using CA Gen:

• The application logic resides on the application server machine.
• ASP.NET Http Handlers (ASHXs) serve as entry points to generated applications.
• The User Interface is a combination of HTML, JavaScript, and Cascading Style Sheets that are created dynamically by the Gen runtime and downloaded to the browser.
• Permitted Value and Edit Pattern checking takes place on the browser using JavaScript.
• The product lets existing users reuse their models by generating ASP.NET Web Client applications.
• ASP.NET Web Client software can access databases by using Gen Server applications or using ADO.NET on the Application Server environment.
• ASP.NET Web Client user interface must be on a Windows platform using a supported version of Internet Explorer.
• TCP/IP, MQSeries, Web Services, and .NET Remoting are the only thread-safe middleware available for ASP.NET Web Client.

Note: Due to browser and HTML limitations, some CA Gen-related features have a different level of support than GUI applications when generated for ASP.NET Web Clients.
