Re: Window Form Application Online

You would be best off creating an ASP.NET application and moving your logic to a web project. There are software products out there to get form applications online but they're obviously not native and performance/usability suffers. Is there any reason you don't want to do a web project?

What do you mean with online? Internet or Intranet?

Re: Window Form Application Online

The only applicable scenario is everyone (clients) install client application (.exe) and all the functionalities in it; talk directly to webservice which handles requests and responds back to the client.
What you need to know is
Host webservices on domain like any web application.
Talk to webservices from any client application.

All about webservices http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms996507.aspx

Another alternative is to use WCF, I personally recommend it http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/netf.../aa663324.aspx

Thanks for the quick reply!

I don't want everyone to install the application in their PC I just want them access a website where Windows Application is embedded.
So, I am thinking whether to use C# or ASP.Net

Re: Window Form Application Online

All my replies were on direction to use Windows-based application.
SURE THE LOGICAL SOLUTION is to use Web-based application (ASP.NET), it's very easy and you'll go through it quickly. Best of luck
