Write One Control, Use with Forms App & Web App?

[Guest]

Is it possible to write one control and use it in both a .net forms
application and a .net web application?

Naeem,

Nope. Not unless you are willing to embed the control into your IE
window, which I assume is NOT what you want to do. The mechanisms for
ASP.NET controls and Windows Forms controls are completely different.

Hope this helps.

Look at XAML/WPF. Could be seen as the convergence between WinForms and
WebForms. Just needs an abstract object server to provide funtionality -
that will be yor challenge.

Hi,

Yes there is and it is called Visual WebGui (http://
www.visualwebgui.com) which provides a unique way to create AJAX
applications by providing full WinForms like development including
design time support over web. This technology which is an extension to
ASP.NET provides you with the ability to write once deploy twice and
not resorting to non standard W3C browser solutions.

You can find here an introduction to Visual WebGui:

I will be happy to answer you questions if you have any at
(support{at}visualwebgui{dot}com)...
