I doubt much of anything in IBS would translate to winforms. The data access tier is a very thin "service" oriented layer that just maps some method calls to stored procedures. And it works off DataReaders. I think most winform apps will work better with DataSets (for doing databinding). So you're down to just reusing the data, stored prodedures, and maybe some authentication routines.

Basically, IBS is very thin around the middle. You're going to have to do a lot of work to beef up the business object layer.

Besides, I don't think the module concept really translates to winforms where you are not constrained by the stateless protocol.

MereMortals.NET should be here soon (?) for winform apps.
