.NET Forum / Languages / C# / November 2006Differences between WEB and Windows desktop applications
Hello, can someone tell me the main differences between the web and windows based applications? thank you > can someone tell me the main differences between the web and windows based > applications? Web applications run over the Intranet or an enclosed intranet and are accessed through a browser. Windows applications are installed on your computer. > Hello, > can someone tell me the main differences between the web and windows based > applications? > thank you If by the latter you're referring to "Windows Forms Applications" the most significant differences are * Webapplications run on webservers (usually IIS) * Winforms Applications run on Clients also, * Webservices & Websites (ASP.NET) are typical web applications * Winforms applications are programs with a GUI put together by controls in the System.Windows.Forms namespace * Winforms applications depend on the .Net Framework but not on the "Windows" operating system so they could (hypothetically) run on other platforms and .net-implementations (have a look at mono) josef Hello Daniela, There were already several answers, but you probably asking to know not the pure differences but select what to choose for your development, right? Thus it's better to describe what are u going to do, and we can help u to find out the right approach DR> Hello, DR> can someone tell me the main differences between the web and windows DR> based DR> applications? DR> thank you --- WBR, Michael Nemtsev :: blog: http://spaces.live.com/laflour "At times one remains faithful to a cause only because its opponents do not cease to be insipid." (c) Friedrich Nietzsche Daniela, To do it from my point of view. ASPNet applications are forever physical 3 tier application like as done on Unix. Client (the webbrowser), The middle Tier (the webapplication) The server (the database). Physical is a windowform application mostly a 2 tier, althoug in a good design it has multi layers (what is by some called tiers). Client (the window forms) The server (the database). Error checking is therefore at webapplication (beside some javascript checking) always full screen while it is with windowforms direct on the entered or selected data. For me are that the major differences, which need in fact a complete different approach. I hope this gives an idea, Cor > Hello, > can someone tell me the main differences between the web and windows based > applications? > thank you Cor, cannot I have a windows desktop application in a 3-tier design? > Daniela, > [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] >> based applications? >> thank you Daniela, A *physical* 3 tier system or a multi layer system as probably all of us have. Cor > Cor, > cannot I have a windows desktop application in a 3-tier design? [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] >>> based applications? >>> thank you In addition to everyone else's comments... Windows applications depend on the following namespace: System.Windows.Forms Web apps use: System.Web.UI With windows applications, you are coding against events "as they happen" where as with web applications, if someone performs an event (such as a button click, drop down list selection,etc) then the information first has to be posted back to the server where the code will then run. So to summarise, with windows apps. the code is running on the person's machine, but with web apps, its actually running on the foreign server and the user just gets some HTML/Javascript that is generated from that code. Steven Windows Applications are always executable(.exe) but web apps are not(.dll). Windows Apps dont have any implicit objects that belong to all web apps(Session,Application..). Windows Apps for decentralised server Apps but web apps are relying fully on server. > In addition to everyone else's comments... > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Steven sex arab videos 2007 سكس

The differences that I saw were: - windows applications (desktop) need to be installed on each client's PC, together with .NET Framework; changes determine a new installation on all stations - web applications install only on the web server together with the framework; the clients access the app from a single location; any change doesn't need to be installed on each station. - web applications have the authentication/authorization mechanism partially built - desktop applications (windows forms) need the entire mechanism built - web apps have validation controls - windows apps don't have validation controls, data needs to be validated through code please add more differences if you know > Hello, > can someone tell me the main differences between the web and windows based > applications? > thank you Daniela, Where did you read the conclusion you wrote in this thread, because non of these points is true and even most are in contrary?. > - windows applications (desktop) need to be installed on each client's PC, > together with .NET Framework; changes determine a new installation on all > stations As it is Net they both have to be installed once on a webserver using Publish. If it is not a Net application than the Net is not needed to be installed. At IE7 this last point is even gone ofcourse. > - web applications install only on the web server together with the > framework; the clients access the app from a single location; any change > doesn't need to be installed on each station. Even this is not true, if you are using JavaApplets, javascript, activeX or whatever, you have to be sure that the right version is in the users cache.. > - web applications have the authentication/authorization mechanism > partially built > - desktop applications (windows forms) need the entire mechanism built With a windows application you can easily use the Is In Role authentication/authorization mechanisme as in any windows application. > - web apps have validation controls > - windows apps don't have validation controls, data needs to be validated > through code The validation on Web is fair, you cannot simple check a date by instance if that is not typed in the way it is given on the webpage. In a window forms application a lot is done for you, just as the user is typing it. Cor I was referring to .NET environment exclusively and this was my understanding reading different sources, it's not necessarily true, I just wanted to confirm. In a multi-user environment a web application doesn't need to be installed on each client's computer like with desktop apps., where there is only one installation on the web server A change in the app will determine one single re-installation on the web server but in the desktop case, it should be done on each individual PC .NET Framework needs to be installed on either WEB server (for web apps) or on each PC (for desktop) for .NET apps to run, which is a one-many relation > Daniela, > [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] > > Cor Daniela, Try either in a web or in a windowforms application using the C# 2005 IDE Build Publish Cor >I was referring to .NET environment exclusively and this was my >understanding reading different sources, it's not necessarily true, I just [quoted text clipped - 45 lines] >> >> Cor Yes Daniela you are right. As an overall guidance, the process of updating those seperate instances is as easy as each other, but the overall concept is correct. If you are building web app, you only need to update the app on the web server. If you want to update a deployed windows app, you need to udpate the individual applications on each pc. There are easy ways to do this and VS2005 has one click deployment methods, but the overall result is still the same. Naturally there are lots of other factors such as how much control you have over the target windows apps, if they use a shared or standalone database, etc. I guess if you plan on doing lots of updates, web is the way to go. But if you want the improved integration with the windows api, then use a windows app. <answer flame="false"> The amount of crap that runs client side now days pretty much makes the concept of a "thin client" redundant anyway, in my opinion. </answer> Steven, I think that you are beside the true situation and still are using facts which seemed to be true in the previous century. The (in my opinion) most important choice you have to make is if your supposed users will download your application on their computer. If that is not the fact, than a webapplication is the only way to go. In other words, do the users belong to your domain or do they want to belong to that. Cor > Yes Daniela you are right. > As an overall guidance, the process of updating those seperate [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > </answer> > I think that you are beside the true situation and still are using facts > which seemed to be true in the previous century. Which facts do you think were true in the previous century? Are you implying that those same facts are no longer valid in this century?
