Ask the client for permission to use what ever you want to show. Make
sure that the current client is clear what your role was in building the
thing that you want to show. If you new prospect calls to check your
reference and the client says that he does not recall if you worked on
that part of the project, you will look pretty silly.
Ask the client to approve (or write if you think that they have the time
and inclination) a statement in their name saying that they were happy
with your work and would recommend you to others - this is worth more
than a demo of some application that your next prospect does not care about.
Make sure that it is clear whether you have permission to use this
endorsement on your web site or only in letters to individual prospects.
Provided your client has given you permission, you are going to be in
the clear.
Without permission, you might surprise your current client when he hears
from a friend (your prospective client) that you are showing stuff that
you took from him. His initial reaction of surprise might cause your
prospective client to have doubts about your integrity. You would be
surprised how small some business circles are. Assume that all
statements will be checked.

what a previous project was capable of?
