Re: Is it advantageous to use .NET Framework DLL's in Access?

Disclaimer: This is an Access NG, so my following remarks really have
nothing to do with Access but just responding to questions about the
viability of .Net/ADO.Net...

Currently, I am working on a project which is to convert some php web
applications to .Net applications in C# (this kinda reminds me how I had
to convert some ADP projects to .Net). PHP/classic ASP both do pretty
much everything you can do in .Net - just requires a ton more code. The
one thing the PHP/classic ASP can't do which .Net does is to create
compiled code (and way less of it). The client wants compiled web
applications because there are way less security holes in a compiled
application than the interpreted apps of PHP/classic ASP and a lot more
Net is a lot more scalable (that was one of the key paradigms in the
development of .Net - to simplify the big stuff).

Additionally, the goal of .Net is the same as the goal of Access - to
simplify the coding process. Has anyone ever tried (I mean this
century) to create a multi-tiered system in MFC? Not fun - way not
fun. Access single handedly revolutionized this process last century.
But the corporate sector needed more than what Access/the com
environment (VB6...) could deliver. Thus emerged .Net - the simplified
version of MFC.

Net is not simpler than Access. It is simpler than MFC.
