Michael,

Way to go!! Glad to hear it's up and working great! We're more than a few months behind you, and still plugging away. Just curious ... how many developers did you have working on this project?

>After 6 months of development we have finally released our first major .NET based application. Spent all weekend converting from an aging FoxPro 2.6 DOS based system and kicked the new app online Monday morning. So far no major startup problems, just typical minor stuff. Users are still in a “dazed and amazed” state even after a month of testing. I was basically getting beat up to release the system into production by them. What can I say, despite all the naysayers - .NET ROCKS and IS ready for prime time!

>Brief system overview:
>Order processing system for repair facility.
>Intranet based using browser front end for data entry. This is not a “dumb” browser client but one designed using a rich DHTML UI. XML data feeds and data islands used for customer and part lookup.
>Win form based monitor handles printing of shippers, labels, etc.
>Web services provide customer lookup, parts data feed, credit card processing - to mention a few.
>Internet based order status inquiry for customers.
>SQL server backend
>EDI data feeds to corporate MRP to handle invoicing, customer and part updates.
>Fox is still alive - reports that required considerable data processing were developed with VFP 7.0.

>Major perk - This was our last active DOS based application.
>Major drawback - This was our last active DOS based application. <s>
