Zinc looks awesome on the outside. The app is nice looking, the APIs look to be really deep & extensive. However I have found it to be quite buggy

Adrian/Eric, Thanks for the info. I need to build quite a large RIA soon (it will be a flex app, but for the purposes of this discussion the gui will be a series of swf's) that requires extensive local machine/local network access (and this needs to be released prior to Apollo). I understand there is a polarised opinion of desktop to swf products such as zinc, but my current thinking is if I need to use a wrapper of this nature, I'd prefer to write my own in C# (my app is heavily reliant on database servers, and im not sure current data access in zinc or swf studio is sufficient or good enough performance-wise). Maybe these products have moved on since I last investigated though. Eric, just out of interest, what particularly puts you off zinc?

I hope that works out for you. Personally, I feel more content using a little product from Northcode... e.dolecki On 7/17/06, Adrian Park <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Nick, > > I know you asked Kelly but, in case it's interesting to you, I have > completed the project I was working on using Zinc.
