Hi all -

I am not seeing any posts or information in the SF documentation that discusses what options--if any--exist for facilitating the migration of a non-SF C# application to SF. I guess a different way to ask the same question would be: How does one go about introducing the SF framework into an existing C# project?

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Regards, al

Hi Alex,

I agree with Trent that you are best starting with a new SF application and incorporating your existing code in the new application. I am new to SF and have done just that.

We had a several hundred table application that was years in the development with a rival framework and it wasn't going anywhere fast with a dedicated inhouse programming team and numerous contractors. I bought SF within the last two months and incorporated our code from the old project (dumping the previous frameworks code) and the application is now much better and far more advanced than it ever was with the previous framework. The old project is now sitting idle in Team Foundation Server.

SF has a richness across all levels from the business object level, database deployment, user interface, etc. You will have little or no problems in incorporating your existing code in a clean SF project.

I totally agree!  I also took an old project and did the same thing that Aaron did.  Total time from start to finish...about 5 months (includes the not-so-steep learning curve)...AND, I have a ton more functionality to offer the users.  It is an excellent framework and you will not regret following the approach Trent and Aaron laid out for you.

Regards,
Bill
