Web Forms run in the browser while Windows Forms run like a separate
"applicatio n". Web Forms are more limited than Windows Forms because
they need a connection to the network/internet, Windows Forms
applications can run without any connection. Windows Forms applications
are the preferred way for applications running locally without permanent
connection, web forms are often used in companies where every client has
a permanent connection.

Hi Herfried,

I was making a long message, but thought why, you did it already

Some little additions more for you than the OP.
Web Forms run in the browser while Windows Forms run like a separate
"applicatio n". Web Forms are more limited than Windows Forms because
they need a connection to the network/internet, Windows Forms
applications can run without any connection.
Windows forms applications can run every where, where you can place the
program on a .Net client.
You can use a webservice for your connection if it is on the other end of
the world.

Windows Forms applications are the preferred way for applications running locally without permanent
connection, web forms are often used in companies where every client has
a permanent connection.


Webforms are in my opinion for the whole world, while a window form is for a
more closed group.

(This is not the old asp approach where the webform was also used for
distributable reasons).

A question for InfoPath and ASP.NET experts: What do you think about the future of InfoPath and ASP.NET WebForms? Is InfoPath 12 going to replace ASP.NET WebForms? If not, in which types of applications would ASP.NET WebForms be more appropriate than InfoPath and vice versa? I very much appreciate your response! Best regards, Mike Johnson

HI, I have just started using Web Forms. It seems that I'm not able to do some things that Windows Forms allow me to do. For example, I tried to implement a counter using a module level declaration, but it would not increment using Web Forms. Also, some controls such as textboxes, which worked OK on the computer, did not work when I placed the project on the server and accesed it via the internet.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
