Create Java like interface with VB net code?

[whodaman]

I have hundreds of pages of complex simulation codes written in VB 6. I would like to upgrade this to VB.net and have a web-based application, i.e., java class, or flash that has the interactivity and can do real-time simulation calculations (preferably on the client side).

Does anyone have any recommendations how I can do this in VS.net?

Criteria:
-Web based
-Highly interactive (client side)
-Able to do complexed calucations
-VS.net

Thanks ahead of time.

J# Browser controls. I haven't used them, but that is similar to what MS is touting them for. I think they have conversion assistants to convert Java code too.

That's for your prompt reply,

I have VS.net 2002. What do i need to update to run J# on my VS.net? If i'm not mistaken, you install the .net framekwork version 1.1, and then the J# browser controls. It did not add any functionallity to my VS.net... What am I missing?

Never mind, I answered my own question with the VS 2003. J# comes with 2003. Cheers.

You can run J# with 2002...but I think that the browser controls might only work with the 2003. BTW, you have to download J# separately (free last time I checked) to run on 2002. It comes with 2003.

When I checkd msdn yesterday, their sight was slow. But they did have a video out where the developer was converting Java code line for line, and it looked like an applete in his IE window when he ran it.

I saw that video too.

I tried the upgradeing to Framework 1.1, and then installing J# on 2002. It just didn't even reconize it. In ether case, I installed 2003 and it runs fine...

What is J#'s equilivent of an Applet? I'm trying to make a J# 'applet' that talks to a VB COM (if i'm not mistaken). Could someone point me to some examples on the web.

Cheers.
