I'm not really sure what switching development platforms for the tool would buy me. Are you saying that the wire-protocol used by vb.net and C# etc. is substantially faster than what is available in VB? Regarding ASP.net, I don't really see how a web app would help here, as it has to run on hundreds of client machines...Are you suggesting that I install a webserver on them?


I would say it probably is a bit faster, but the nice thing is there is no client libraries required, hence a thinner deployment.

With a web application you would have the application run at a single web server and the clients would access through a browser. That way you would not have to deploy anything.
