Hi everyone,

I am new to desktop application. I have to develop an application and its requirements are below.

It should contain 3 parts (frames in HTML language).
Part1 should contain books (book1, book2,....)
Part2 should contain contents (chapters) of the book
Part3 should contain the detail content.

The user should be able to choose the book of his choice from part1. OnClicking a book in part1, the part2 should display all the chapters of the choosen book. Onclicking a chapter from part2 the whole content of the selected chapter should be displayed in part3.

It should also have navigation features.

I am not sure which language to choose. I guess its vb or vc++(please correct me if i am wrong).
I also need some ideas of doing the above application.

Thanks

Is this a desktop app or a web app? You reference frames and HTML, and OnClick is usually a JS function. I usually recommend .NET for its objects and IDEs.

Its a desktop application.

I have done things similar to this with Delphi, and I know that C++ with a GUI library can do this as well. Most languages will be able to do this, actually.

You need a database - perhaps the .NET Framework with ADO.NET or SQL Server would suit your needs. You could then program in either C#, VB or even managed C++.
