.NETHTML5 updates and clarifications

Modified By roy.goffer on 8/11/2011 5:21:28 PM)

Hello all,

As a result of the great interest and many inquires we see regarding the new .NETHTML5 version we want to share more information and our vision.

At this point in time (May 2011) .NETHTML5 is functionally equivalent to WINWEB.

The main current difference is at the client rendering engine, which was replaced from the XSLT engine to a JQT engine (based on jQuery templates). This new client core lays the foundation for the upcoming .NETHTML5 as it allows better cross-platform performance and brings support for mobile device browsers, such as iOS and Android, while adding support for HTML5.

In the near future .NETHTML5 will break away from WINWEB, and become much more web-oriented while adopting HTML5 as the future web and mobile standard, thus adding web functionalities, controls and further support for HTML5 capabilities. This means that .NETHTML5 will be moving away from the desktop look and feel to provide a more web-native experience.

At this point in time, WINWEB will continue to add compatibility to the MS .NET desktop application framework.

At a later phase we are planning to add a mobile designated framework to.NETHTML5. This will allow designated development, controls and form factor support for mobile devices and mobile device presentation of Visual WebGui standard browser applications. It will allow you to quickly and easily create an application with .NET Visual WebGui Form Designer and come up with a fully featured mobile application with support for all common mobile browsers and environments. The UI elements will also be revised compatible with the mobile application look and feel.

.NETHTML5 will bring data centric application development directly to you, with the visual richness capabilities of HTML5 in client and power of .NET code on the server, combined with the ease of use, the built-in multi-browser compatibility, the unmatched performance, the security, the scalability, the extensibility and many more benefits that Visual WebGui brings with it. At the end of the day, you will be able to create your HTML5 rich web applications, writing .NET code only.

We will be publishing the roadmap shortly, so stay tuned.

If you have any inquiries on the subject, please do not hesitate to reply to this post.

Re: .NETHTML5 updates and clarifications

Hi Ori

Two quick questions:

1. How will .NETHTML5 compare in terms of bandwidth and performance to WINWEB?

2. Will .NETHTML5 have the same "unbreakable" security that WINWEB had?

Basically wondering what will be projected onto the client device?

Regards

Andrew

Hello Andrew,

Thank you for these questions.

1. "How will .NETHTML5 compare in terms of bandwidth and performance to WINWEB?"
.NETHTML5 brings a very large performance enhancement for browsers with JavaScript optimized engines (most common browsers).
Apart from that Visual WebGui performance is always a top priority and is taken very seriously. This is as relevant for .NETHTML5 as it is for WINWEB.

2. "Will .NETHTML5 have the same "unbreakable" security that WINWEB had?"
Visual WebGui security is actually built into the framework. It is a result of the way the framework is built. To add to that, we pay a great deal of attention to security concerns in the changes we make to the framework. That is done to make absolutely sure that security is not compromised even slightly at any stage. This is and will remain relevant for both .NETHTML5 and WINWEB.

Re: .NETHTML5 updates and clarifications

Do we need to change existing project files before we can switch to the JQT (NETHTML5) or is this as simple as uninstall the winweb version and install the JQT version?

I know I could try but doesn't dare it yet!! I have too much unfinished projects for now..

With kind regards,

Hello Michael,

Great question.

It is simply a process of uninstall WINWEB and install .NETHTML5 is the following two apply:
* You intend to either use Pro Studio on both or Express Studio on both
* You do not have CustomControl or SkinnableControls or a Theme with XSLT templates overridden in your application.

If the second does not apply for you, than you need to use the migration tool explained in this article here.
