    <p>I have a web app in production that is used for typical data entry,retrieval, and reporting type functions. For reasons of mobility(<em>field access required</em>) I have been tasked with porting that Web App to a Desktop App. The structure of the existing app, which I did not design or code, is thus:</p> <hr> <p><strong>3</strong> Individual Projects each with there own <strong>DAL</strong> and <strong>SQL DB</strong> named the same. <em>Project 1</em> is the core app. <em>Project 2</em> exists on top of <em>Project 1</em> and add's further functionality but cannot exist on it's own. <em>Project 3</em> builds on the first 2 projects and is as large as both but again cannot exist on it's own. </p> <p>To get into <em>Project 3</em>, the web app, you log in to <em>1</em>, <strong>Select</strong> a <strong>Person</strong>, navigate to <em>2</em>, <strong>Select</strong> an <strong>Enrollment</strong>, navigate to <em>3</em> to then work with a <strong>Plan</strong>. All three projects share <strong>1 BLL</strong> existing in <em>Project 1</em>.</p> <hr> <p>Given all of that, a tight time frame, my relative newness, and the fact that I had nothing to do with any of the original three's creation(3 seperate dev's created the aformentioned 3 projects) what are some suggestions for me.</p> <p>Example, can I reuse the aspx pages, at all? Can they be embedded like WPF? Converted?</p> <p>What type of UI refactoring considerations should I keep in mind? Are there certain changes that will break things, theoretically?</p> <p>Any one else ever had to do something similar? Tips?</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <h2>EDIT 1</h2> <p>There was a suggestion of Cassini below and coincidentally there is a post here on SO about it. <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/103785/what-are-the-disadvantages-of-using-cassini-instead-of-iis">HERE</a> That post leads me to believe it WOULDN'T work for me as my "App" is actually 3 projects with 3 separate deploys. Correct or am I reading that wrong?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
