SmartClient?

Obviously a newbie question but:
Is a .Net app automatically a "SmartClient" app? If I build a frontend
in VB.Net or C+.Net and use a SQL Server backend (assuming some sort of
ADO.NET involved) is that what MS refers to as a "SmartClient" app?
Thanks for any direction on this.

Well, not really. There are a bunch of things that Microsoft sees as features
of a program that makes it a smart client. These include:

1. Program communicates with the backend via WebServices
2. Program can work on and offline
2. Program auto updates

There are a few more, but that will give you a good ideas.
