How to Convert an ASP.NET Using C# Web Application into A Desktop Application

[jimish1]

Hi Friends, I have this web application developed using ASP.NET with C#. Now I want to convert it to a desktop application i.e. a Windows Application Project. Is there any option available with the .NET framework to do so...? Any Activex Control available for the same..? Or do I have to reconstruct the whole application again..?? Regards.. Jim Jim

I think that you have to redevelop it....But this will help you for code conversion http://www.developerfusion.com/tools/convert/csharp-to-vb/[^]

I don't want to convert it in VB..I want to stay with C#.!

The level of effort depends on how the application was architectured. If the layers of application Presentation/View and other layers are not tightly coupled . all you have to do is to go ahead and create a similar view in Winforms and use the existing Business layers etc. If this is not the case. then you will have to redo most part of the application.
