      What a strange question I've ever seen. If you are going for windows application then use WinForms and WebForms for web application. That is not like when to use that is by choice of people Either they are devloping web or windows apps. Usually people are using WebForms because they want to make people to see that from the M/C connected through network rather then installing WinApp on every PC. Your question should be of WinApp vs WebApp.

        Webforms: originated from the evolution of the web. winforms: WinForms on the other hand originated from VB, MFC and other desktop environments. If you use Winforms, you begin having a deployment problem. You either have to have everyone update their machine everytime you update the application, or you have to use ClickOnce. Depending on how complicated your application and deployment scenario would be, clickonce may or may not be an option. You will need to make sure your users have .NET 2.0 installed (clickonce can do this for you, I believe). Because this is an internal application only and will not be redistributed, it may be easier to implement this.

          THIS[^] would be enough rather then writing this much. :)

              I've no problem with you quoting from other sources, but you do need to respect copyright law and provide a reference to the original material. Just a "Read more here..." link would be perfect, and extremely helpful.
