There is a way to implement it using Ajax, but that sheet will not work if network or internet is closed, as server based app does not work if network is off, Let me know what to do. Atif

Answer 1

There's this old MSDN article that talks about enhancing client side experience using DLLs downloaded from the server. That might be a marginally useful option to pursue.

Another option is to use something like Script# and write your code in C# and have a compiler translate it to JavaScript. As I understand it you'll be writing code that's mostly calculations and possibly some validation, that kind of stuff should translate from one language to another more easily.

Last but not least is basically writing a thick client app that will launch from inside a browser. Your main option for that is Silverlight . It will provide for a rich user experience client side and still allow access to the application from a webpage. It can also be made to work in partially connected situations (such as network being down for whatever reason).

Answer 2

Please code in c# and use Ajax (update panel). Don't bother about network off or on. You can deploy on server and it work with internet.
