CSMNET operates in a Microsoft Windows .NET environment over a PC based network. The system is written in ASP.NET/VB and can interact with numerous databases directly or via ODBC. CSMNET is a browser-based software application that relies on a web server(such as Microsoft IIS7, Wampserver, Apache,etc.) to serve the web pages. Ideally, CSMNET will run in a PC network consisting of several PC’s and a file server running SQL Server and IIS7 or later. Each of the PC’s would have a desktop link to the application software.

CSMNET is an ASP.NET/VB version of the CSM software which over the last 30 years has run in various environments including, COBOL, Powerbuilder/Jaguar, C++, Dbase, Paradox, and others. The latest version represents the best from all previous versions and provides modern day users and system administrators with a fully functional browser-based child support enforcement application system.
