Hi,
I have some Asp.net programming experience but none involving graphics. Can anyone tell me whether I'm looking in the right place?
I need to write an Asp.net app (preferably using VB) which allows users to plan the layout of a garden
The code must draw a layout of their garden on the page, together with plants around the edge which can be dragged to various positions on the garden. Interaction must be provided so that (for example) plants that are spaced too close to each other generate a warning. And changes must be written back to a database so that the user can save their plan.
Can Asp.net do this? I'm not sure it can handle the drag-and-drop interactivity that I need without a million page refreshes.
If not, should I be looking at learning Flash, so that the designing is done client-side, and then posting back from Flash to Asp.net or is this impossibly difficult?
Many thanks for any advice on the route I should take! Also, does anyone know of any really well written books that I should consider using as training for this project?
