Where I work, we have a few applications that were written as ASP.Net pages. Now personally, I do not have a problem with web development, as I feel it is good to have a good understanding of both.

Here is my situation. There is a "secure" area where our users access applications that deal with sensitive data (cc #'s and such). This secure area is an ASP.net page. I've been trying to figure out why would anyone develop an ASP.Net app, when it's going to be "served" by a webpage already. Isn't that just adding more unnecessary trouble.

As much as I love web development, there are a lot of quirks that go into dealing with web applications that just aren't present with standard Windows applications. So for the last couple of weeks, I've been championing this initiative to convert a couple (there is really one in particular we've been having a lot of issues with) of our secure web applications into regular Windows apps.

From what I've been able to gather, there was really no good reason for these apps to be ASP.Net pages. I think it came down to the preference of the contractor that actually wrote the applications.

So my question is, should I keep pushing this issue or drop it? I'm relatively new here (just over 6 months working) and I don't want to make unecessary waves, but I'd like to keep pushing if this is the right thing for us to do.

I know everyone has their preferences, but this isn't about "Teh Desktop Devs vs. the Web Devs" kinda topic. I just want to know if I'm making the correct call here.
