Hi All,

In my company we are considering to use .NET for the next version of some apps that we have.
As they are VB-SQL Server based, and we have lots of VB developers, our choice will be VB.Net.

But now, starting from zero, an interesting debate is going on: WinForms or WebForms?

We have been talking for a while and there are good points in both sides and one strong requirement, we want one GUI. That requirement was born from our experience, some times, when something in the middle tier DLLs programmatic interface changed, our web app guys were not aware of that and the web front was broken or viceversa with our fat client.

So WinForms have the richness of Windows, WebForms the zero deployment client advantage.
Some of our customers are schools and they will like to give their students Web access to some information.
I have read about WinForms Web deployment but not too deeply.

What are you thoughts or -even better- experiences on this?
Thanks in advace for your advice.
