It sounds like this won't matter in your case, but there is the often important point that flex and air applications run not only on Windows, but also on OS X, and maybe even on Linux as well.
I don't know enough about .net to address this question, but I do wonder whether it provides for a desktop database, assuming that not all of your users have something like Access installed. The truth is that you could probably use SQLite along with .net, but I'm not sure how easy or difficult that would be. Adobe has done a pretty nice job of integrating Air with SQLite. There is also the question of whether you already have a bunch of programmers who are experts in .net, or have a bunch of folks who are experts in ActionScript. In my experience, programmers tend to be way more effective in an environment that they are already for Millie or with, as opposed to trying to learn a whole new environment on the fly. ----- Original Message ---- From: itdanny2002 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2008 9:00:50 PM Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Web-based Sync data - Flex/Air & VS.NET But if the only to do the sync is to install a program in desktop. Then, any benefit of AIR is better than Microsoft'stuf ? Sorry, it is a management question so that we can sell our management while our other development is on MS platform. Inshort, any good point in AIR which is better ?
