We had a class in college where we used VB.NET, and Visual Studio designer for GUI. It was a breeze, and most people had working applications up and running within days of class start.
End project was to build a control/monitoring application for an electric motor.
Sure, there were some hard limitations compared to "modern" GUI design tools, but for the domain (industrial machines), these things worked just fine.
- skeeter2020 4y ago> End project was to build a control/monitoring application for an electric motor This is actually a funny use-case for .NET as anything low-level and hardware oriented tended to be harder to do without the libraries, which (if they existed) weren't .NET Not sure what the hard limitations were that you refer to; VB.NET / C# where always the easiest way to get a windows GUI (WinForms) app running. For industrial computing solutions tended to use Windows CE and Windows XP with COM apps.
- TrackerFF 4y agoThis is ages ago - but IIRC, we did it something like this Motor - VFD - PLC - OPC server - OPC client The .NET Application worked purely as a GUI read/write data from/to the PLC. But of course there were other things involved, like database programming, API service, webdev. We made a very, very simple API in ASP.NET I think, and some website in PHP which would just plot the various motor values.
