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

    .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.

    You can also consider WPF/E

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

    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!"

    Maybe I completly misunderstood your question

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

    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.
