Winforms v webforms?

Hi all

I am looking for some advice on when it is best to create a database
entry and management application using .net winforms or webforms

A scenario I am looking at is a LAN business network environment using
SQL Server to store the data. Users maintain and update their own
records

Are there some basic 'rules' as to when you use the ease of creating
and using a winforms application, as opposed to the ease of deployment
of a web forms application?

The known group of users is known and an Outlook group is easily
creatable for contact with the users. Speed of development and ease of
use for end users are major factors. Users could number 60 and a
typical size of the database would be a total of 10,000 records

I apologise if anyone recognises this from a previous post but I never
worded what I wanted to know properly

Thank you to anyone that can offer me any advice in an area I have
found to be quite a gray one :)

Regards

Dwight

Are there any rules of thumb for when it is more appropriate to use WinForms over WebForms. It strikes me that WinForms is best suited for many/most "Intranet" and some "Extranet" scenarios but wholly inappropriate for "Internet" scenarios. I ask because there seems to be a school of thought that considers standardizing exclusively on WebForms. I am not necessarily comfortable with this as it comes across as having a hammer and thus...

Hi, Just looking for some v2 guidance here... In WebForms, the DropDownList control has an Items collection which contains ListItem objects which, in turn, very conveniently contain a text property and a value property. In WinForms, the ComboBox control also has an Items collection which can contain (as I understand it) pretty much any object which can display

Can I use C# (Winforms) to design a website?. I am from C/C++ background but know nothing about Internet programming. My understanding of WebForms are that they are similar to WinForms in that they give a WYSIWYG environment for designing user interfaces - however, all searches I have done on WebForms display the actual HTML, not a WYSIWYG environment. My questions (finally) then are.

I would like to build a WinForm demo form to demonstrate the various controls, events, etc that WinForms can do that WebForms cannot. This is intended as an objective way to compare the various features, pluses and minuses of each paradigm. I would intend to post this form to CodeProject for anyone to see. Subsequently, perhaps I or someone else could do the same for WebForms. For now, here are a few things I thought of (and I could...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
