Question

I am planning to develop a web based invoicing application for multiple users. It will be used by individuals to log and review their invoices. User data must be saved to a common database, but kept separate from other user logins (ie user data must not be shared / revealed to other users). I suspect I will need the following...

1.a login page / authentication

2.forms to enter a user's unique customers and items

3.a form for users to enter their invoices

4.solid reporting tools / dashboard capabilities

The current knowledge base is Microsoft (ie C#, SQL, .Net)

Can anyone advise the best RAD Tools / environment to achieve this outcome? Cheers!

I don't want to reinvent the wheel. Surely there must be a suite of tools with solid authentication and reporting capabilities that will make this job much easier than otherwise.

Explanation / Answer

I have used Telerik's ASP.net Controls in Visual Studio in the past to build a similar application(simpler though, not as complex). They should help aid and cut down development time. Implementing a business rules engine with workflows, will provide consistency and security. Telerik also has reporting as does visual studio. If you design the database, you might be able to cut development time using Visual Studio's LightSwitch which could potentially speed up development tremendously
