It is possible to create an application for the smartwatch in which the application is already done in Visual Basic and has the BDA in SQL Server? The goal is for the user to be able to see the data in smartwatch as for example in a Dashboard normal.

If you are going to create, it is not done. If it is already done, it will not create.

It has not been said which device, but none of them runs VB6, it is dependent on full Windows and there are only a few much larger devices that run full Windows.

Even if it might happen the language would not be suitable to take advantage of the device’s resources. Moreover, if it is done, it was thinking of big screen and using resources of a "normal" computer, it would not look good.

So this idea makes no sense.

I suggest to see what languages are available for it - if it runs Android it can be Java, C# (it is possible that it even runs VB.NET, but I do not know if ideally), and others - study it in depth, understand the differences to develop for this type of device and create the client.

It’s possible, depending on how the server side was developed, to take advantage of that part, but I doubt it. I can’t say, I don’t know anything about what was done, but whoever made VB6 didn’t create server applications. Accessing the direct database is out of the question. You will need to create an application server. Some will opt for a TCP communication application, but most will do something for HTTP, which doesn’t mean it’s the best decision.

Anyway, that’s what you can answer.

  • Good, thanks for the answer! Responding, the application is created in Vb.net with bda sql server connection which shows the web(site) level, Dashboard(php) the report of the fields that I am interested in showing. My doubt is what is the best way to show a kind of Dashboard as well but for smartwatch, so it is better to use another language like Java or C#?

  • Most likely, but the best for your case only you can answer.
