>>I agree with both Kevin and your friend. WinForms give you a much richer UI. Our app uses WinForms with Web Services. Newer computers often have the .NET framework already installed, and if not, it is a fairly easy install. I don't even think that it's out of line to insist that a potential customer have the .NET framework installed so it's not an issue to go with a WinForm instead of a Web Form. If they won't install the Framework, you don't want them for a customer. <g>

>>>Recently I was talking to a friend of mine who works for a company currently developing an enterprise database application. They are using .NET framework. I asked if they are using WebForms or WinForms. He said, definitely WinForms. He said that the current trend is to use WinForms with Web Services to access database. I trust this guy knows what is talking about. He is a very experienced C++, Java, and now .NET developer. Actually he was a beta tester for .NET and was teaching .NET when not too many people knew or believed in it.

>>>Anyway, I was wondering, if the gurus in this forum also see that the latest trend for enterprise database applications is WinForms with Web Services and not WebForms?
