May 4th, 1999, 02:46 PM
i am curious if anyone knows of a way to put existing MFC Windows apps on the internet. I am an experienced VC++
developer that is looking for a quick and dirty way to do this. i've talked with microsoft on the phone and they gave
me a solution, which is definitely not quick and dirty. i also figured out a way to do it using NetMeeting, which about
as hard. any ideas out there?????

Hi,
I have also have pretty good experience in MFC, and of late i have been developing internet related solutions. Even i have the idea of deploying MFC apps for the Internet.

Now comes the difficult part. You cannot deploy applications just like that. You have to make a decision as to where you want the application to run, on the Server or on the Browser. If you want to make your application to run on the browser then COM/activex is the only way. If you want a part of the application to run on the server then develop a GUI in HTMl and then access your application fucntionality from the Web Server.


Regards

Piece a cake. Link statically & zip up exe. User downloads, unzips & runs. What could be simpler?
