    Hi all I have a web application created which is currently used. Now I have to create Windows application same as my Web application. And I don't want to repeat all my action to do same thing again and again CAUSE the web application is very huge. :doh: So is it possible to convert?:confused: Is there any way to do something like this?

      Well, there is no ready tool available for this. But it would be simpler if you have a seperate business layer. In this case what you need to do is write the UI layer again.

        Hi Manas Thanks for the suggestion. That is the last way that I have already thought and that will be the last. but what the problem I am facing is my UI. As you know how easily we can customize the UI in web applications but that is not so easy for Windows applcations. So if there is any way to convert UI also that would be great. There is no repeater we have in Windows appl. (I gonna have to repeat a table 8 TIMES which already contains 60 controls - :doh: ) Do you have any Idea about Repeater in windows application or something which is similar to Repeater. And please do me a favor. If there is any forum for windows application exists then please suggest me?

          What about building your own custom control for that?

              just separate your web business logic and data retrieval logic to a separate class library... u can use that in your Windows application, just you have to create the UI... You may also use Web Services if you want to run the same code from both... In that case windows application should be connected to internet or local network to run.... :rose:

                Thanks Abhishek Have you ever done like this before? It will be better if you describe in brief how to use web service for the purpose you mentioned above.

                  Google for "Visual Basic Power Pack". You'll find a Repeater control you can use in that. As for converting a Web UI to Windows, there is no tool that exists that can do this. You have to rewrite the UI from scratch.
