Nilesh,

Definitely separate your tiers distinctly. In our app we have the following layers: UI (both WebForms and WinForms), WebServices, BusinessObjects, DataAccess and Data (SQL Server). The WebForm app calls the BizObjects directly, and the WinForm app calls the WebServices.The WebServices call the exact same BizObjects as the browser app calls. That puts all your logic in one place, the BizObject, so that both browser app and desktop app will work the same.

This is obviously a bit over-simplified, but hopefully you get the gist of it ...
