Re: [OT] node.js and express

@Greg, the last version of LightSwitch you could choose either HTML5 or SilverLight on the client. But you're right... it's no longer an option. On 25 November 2016 at 11:25, Greg Low (罗格雷格博士) wrote: > Yep, Lightswitch is dead. It was Silverlight based. > > > > Regards, > > >

Re: [OT] node.js and express

Because it's easier to feed the HTML/JavaScript beast than it was to enforce a stricter discipline. Even more harder now that the combination of the two is so fluid on a yearly basis. Attaching a tool today to HTML/JavaScript/WebGL is dangerous as...what framework do you agree is the "norm"

RE: [OT] node.js and express

So it then comes back to tooling again. Why can’t I build an app with the ease of a winform app and have it deployed in the current environments? Surely the app framework should fix the underlying mess and let me code to a uniform clean model. Regards, Greg Dr Greg Low 1300SQLSQL (1300 775

Re: Target x86/x64

Old thread, but catching up with old posts, and no replies here. No, it won't. All it does is control a flag that goes into the exe header so the OS knows what size process to run it in. You can even change this post-build if you want (corflags.exe). Adding a native compilation step is another
