ASP .Net Web Form or Windows Form

[rodrick]

I'm just wondering if any one can explain to me when you would use an ASP .Net Web form instead of a Windows Form.
I have this guy at work who thinks that ASP .Net Web forms are great and thinks all applications should be developed. But I think that their are times when a Windows form would be better for the job.

So can someone let me know whether Web forms are the bees knees and should be used all the time or if there are circumstances a Windows form would be better please explain.

All the applications we develop are used inhouse so they're not being developed for release on the internet just over the network if that makes any difference.

Thanks

When?

I think ASP.NET should be used when you're creating an app for users of your network or on the Internet. It's when things get GUI-dependant that winforms can come into the picture. A new word pad for example, or some sort of a text editor.

When the program is mostly logic processing, ASP.NET is useful.

Your turn

the real goal is to design your apps well using classes, so you can easily create a GUI in both win forms and web forms with ease because all the code except the user interface is done in a .net DLL
