    Some question about design

    Hello!

    We have a Windows form application that use remoting to communicate with a
    server running some additional software that the windows form application is
    using. Note the Windows form application is most certain running on its own
    computer(client ). We call the server that the Windows form application is
    communication with for "app server".
    In some special cases the Windows form application and the app server might
    be running on the same computer.

    The Windows form application is a GUI with many different functionality and
    dialogs and forms.

    Now to my questions:
    Assume I want to have the same functionality and GUI from a web application
    as I have from the Windows form application.
    How much is it possible to use from the Windows form application when
    writing the the web application?
    How much do I have to rewrite in asp.net ?
    Is the best solution to use asp.net ?
    Do I have to change anything in the app server when handling communication
    from the web application?
    The best would be if the app server would be transparant meaning that both
    the Windows form application and the web application
    work the identical against the app server so no change is required in the
    app server.

    As I have understood this, is that asp.net application is running on a web
    server(IIS for example). You write your asp.net application by using
    the visual tool editor similar to cunstructing GUI for windows forms and
    handling event and so on.

    The browser will present a GUI using HTML that has been sent from the web
    server about the same look and feel as you have when running the web
    application from within visual studio. I here assume that you can test and
    run you asp.net application from within your IDE in visual studio.

      Now to my questions:
      That will will depend on how well your application is written. if you
      have at least two tiers UI and the REST, then you are good. YOu willl
      have to just write the Asp.net layer.
      Also you might want to go over the REST just to make sure it will work
      in web environment( more than one request at a time)

      Assume I want to have the same functionality and GUI from a web application
      as I have from the Windows form application.
      How much is it possible to use from the Windows form application when
      writing the the web application?

      Is the best solution to use asp.net ?
      Do I have to change anything in the app server when handling communication
      from the web application?
      YOu will still be able to use your existing app serve even with the
      web.app
      The best would be if the app server would be transparant meaning that both
      the Windows form application and the web application
      work the identical against the app server so no change is required in the
      app server.
