Nevron Open Vision White Papers

Porting existing WinForms, WPF, and Mac desktop applications to the Web used to be very hard and expensive. Because of the difficulties involved in the porting process, most of the existing desktop applications never make it to the Web. The ones that are successfully ported, are often completely rewritten, which often makes the desktop version obsolete or poses additional efforts for its long-term support. In this article, we examine the different approaches a company may choose to port its existing applications to the Web. We also present the Blazor-WebAssembly and Nevron Open Vision for .NET (NOV) as a viable solution for porting existing WinForms, WPF, and Mac desktop applications to the Web. The proposed porting solution retains a fully-functional desktop version, produces a feature-rich Web version, and leverages the current qualification of your existing team - while at the same time keeping a low porting cost and risk.
