C# .Net Windows application or WebSite application?
-
My requirement is to develop an application which can be run from central networked computer. My idea is to install SQL database on central computer(server) i.e to have database located on the server, and install C# windows application on one or more client machines. All the client machines will store/retrieve database from the server. Is this option better or creating a WebSite and installing this only on central server. All client can access using the link through browser. I feel Windows application will be much faster compared to Website Please suggest me which would be the best choice. Thanks in advance

This belongs in the Design and Architecture forum This is a VERY subjective issue, my opinions: If you meet the following criteria 1. are inside the firewall (and do not have domain issues between users) 2. can use clickonce deployment 3. have reasonably standard hardware platform (no macs, no old 386's) then a winforms solution will be faster and give the users a richer experience (I hate that expression) If even 1 of the above is missing then a webforms solution will be easier to implement.
