Windows Forms Development Architecture

Hi, If I am looking at developing a new windows forms Application VB.Net 2005 Some Things to look at is why not develope it in a alone standing exe why all these DLLS, What would be the best Architeture using Plain windows forms application to connect to a central data source with massive data being transfered to the client or using dot net remoting ?? Well I am new to the windows applications arena any help would be appreciated. Best regards P

Just like a web app, if you've got serious database work going on, it's best to build a data layer, which will be in a dll. The business rules I'd be less likely to put in a dll, if I was writing a windows app, but I would use namespaces to create that seperation still.

If you must favour a single application, then you should still follow Christian's advice below, and keep your data access and business logic in separate classes, used by your forms. Basically, all your forms should do is respond to UI events, and populate controls.

Have you tried one of Microsoft's own best practices such as Enterprise Library 3.1 that combined with Composite UI Application Block (CAB)? This will provide you the best practices, application blocks and hence, good architecture (which is already used and tested by others) to start.
