Hi,  
I have currently developed my desktop applications with delphi.  
Is it possible with MapWinGis to develop for the web?  
If possible, what is the best language?  
Thank you

I would not recommend using MapWinGIS for Web development.  
It is much easier using PostGIS to store the data, GeoServer to make the maps and OpenLayers or Leaflet to show the maps in your webpage.

A friend of mine mentioned IIS server might do the job since it is able to serve .NET applications.

If im correct MapWinGis is a .NET application and so there might be a chance to have it run on a ISS server. I did not test it myself yet but will probably try it later.

Maybe someone else has some experience in it?

Kind regards,

Remco

He was probably referring to [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) code. MapWinGIS is an OCX (ActiveX control) written in c++.

You may find some browser support for ActiveX controls, but I know little about this. You can let us know if you discover anything.

Regards,  
Jerry.
