ii. Windows Forms version for customer orders + additional functionality
(for use by sales/corporate users to take phone orders + access to additional screens)

Environment: Visual Studio 2005, SQL Server 2005 .NET Framework 2.0

Is there a framework that can been used for developing both Widnows forms and Web apps

Thanks in advance!

    I agree with the previous reply. That is how I do my apps that need both web/winform UI.

    But here is another http://www.xamlon.com/

    From their site:

    "Create WinForms applications in C# or VB .NET to deploy anywhere on the web via the MacromediaR FlashR Platform. No previous experience with FlashR is necessary to develop completely portable web-based applications!"

    You can also consider WPF/E

    Here is an article explaining it :http://www.itwriting.com/wpfe.php

    Have you checked out the composite application block sc-bat
    enterprise library

    Thank you very much for all the feedback.

    Came across CSLA: http://www.lhotka.net/Area.aspx id=4

    Looks like this would meet the client requirements. Will be trying it out shortly.

    Thanks again for the inputs.

    .NET can be used to build web applications and windows applications. Your logic can be placed in satellite assemblies and thus be shared between both applications if needed, and architectured properly. Your application and web application can communicate via web services , etc. Hope this helps.

    Maybe I completly misunderstood your question

    but as far as I know CSLA is about the "business objects" and not about the UI
