Touch Screen interface in ASP.Net

[ReportDr00]

Is there a way to develop touch screen (with fingers or stylus) interface in ASP.Net?
Do we have to use the third party software to recognize the touch of fingers or stylus?
Any ideas or suggestions please?
If it is implemented by any one, it would really help for sample code or steps to develop?
I just need it for proof of concept....
really appreciate your feedback

Thanks
Armani

I would imagine that a touchscreen is just another input device. Like a mouse, keyboard or barcode scanner. It captures /interprets user input.

So whether a webpage is navigated via a mouse, touchscreen, or stylus the application should not care.

A good place to start will be to look into Tablet development

If available I would start researching WPF also as it may be a easier task to do there

What about developing Smart Client Interface using Microsoft smart client technology?
Is it possible to do with it?

This isn't an issue for ASP.NET. Most computer systems (regardless of the language they were written in or what form they take) can be controlled with a touch screen interface as it's just a type of input.

ca8msm's right I've developed tradition VB apps and also web intranet apps for touch screen systems. These were just a clear screen that fitted over traditional monitors, but you can get monitors with touch screen built in too.

They just moved the mouse cursor around the screen, to double click users would double tap the screen, and to hit buttons and links a single tap works, no special coding needed its just a mouse cursor.

It still looks good though when you see your app working with it. A word of note when designing controls for the user to interact with bear in mind a finger is a big thing so it pays to make buttons and fonts bigger.

Good luck with your application.
