How can I get started with migrating my winforms application to ASP.NET?

Question

I need to convert my winform VB.NET application to an ASP.NET application.
My current application has 4 forms, it reads a remote XML file, and uses a datagrid to collect user input and to create a report.
It is a very simple application, and I would like to know where to start to convert it to ASP.NET.

Answer 1

It's as simple as start a new web project and create the current forms as WinForms. There is no magic tool that I am aware of that does this conversion.

You'll need a server to host the web application on as well.

Unless I am missing something, sounds very simple.

Answer 2

It won't take very much by all accounts.

No one is going to be able to give you a "just do this" solution to your problem.

What you need to do is work through a couple of simple Web Forms examples and you'll soon see the similarities and be able to migrate the code.

Answer 3

Should be fairly straightforward to port the functionality.

You should start by checking out the tutorials at the asp.net website.
