    Thanks for your thorough reply thank you very much But the thing is My application is not going to be web based normally the process will be something like this : A person will go to the theatre and wants to buy the ticket there at the counter the Seller will be showing him the screen of the available seats of the Movie selected and as the person buys the ticket the seat will be blocked and out side the counter he can view the Status of the Movie on a seperate screen(either they will be LCD screen or any ither display device) like House full, fastly selling, available. Can u pls suggest me how to do it in VB.net

    maddysha,

    When you say VB.NET does it mean you want to use WinForm (client server)?
    FYI, VB.NET can be used both in WinForm as well as WebForm.

    My suggestion also would be go for the Web based architecture.
    There are lot of advantage of using thin client approach (web based) than the thick client (client server).
    For e.g.
    1. Needs no installation on client machines.
    2. You could easily extend your application from intranet to internet and thus you could enable online booking, which would add really value to the business.

    you could add more benifits than limitations.

    Initially, if your business requirement wants to use it in the theatre then you could deploy it as a Intranet application whether it is in the counter or outside the counter.
    These days you could acheive the rich web UI like Winforms using the AJAX. Recently Microsoft has released open source AJAX Control tool will lot of cool UI controls.

    >>Thanks in Advance whatever the Suggestions or Code can be appreciated.
    There are open source framework available for ASP.NET. CSLA.NET is one such useful framework you could think of to start your application.

    Hope this helps
