Hi everybody,
maybe somebody can give me some advice ...
I wrote apps in Winforms and Silverlight for school administration and schools to be able to manipulate data of pupils, statistics etc. The common data pool is in SQL Server and school administration is working in a LAN and schools access data by a Silverlight client via internet.
After a lot of reading and thinking we decided to rewrite the Silverlight client in MVC (5). Win 8.1 and the followers are not an option as many communities are on Win XP still and will stay with Win 7 as long as they can. So there will be no XAML and all the benefits of Silverlight in the new client. I never before had to do with Asp.Net (except the Silverlight part) and so a lot of learning is to come .....
Fortunately there is no hurry (until now) and I can take time to learn everything from the scratch. So here are some of my questions:
- Is there a better option than going into MVC (HTML 5 / JS ) for our scenario ?
- Do I have to use the built in Membership / Role providers in MVC or can I go on to use our built in security?Clients using the MVC app only are allowed to change their passwords - all other security management (create new users etc, ) is done by a perfectly working Winforms app. So if this was possible, I only had to write a login screen. This is working well in our Silverlight and Winform apps. There is a library creating the needed Csla Identity and Principal objects and handling the other login stuff.
- Are there any working - up to date (MVC 5 ) - CSLA samples (maybe even) using the http proxy with async data access. If you are new to this stuff, it is really hard to get the information you need out of the samples.
Of course I have the CSLA 4 books and videos.
Hopefully someone can enlighten me
TIA
regards
Uwe
