I have a Windows Application and i got a requirement to convert all forms in Windows application to Web Application including code written in windows application. How can we do this. please do needful...
Hi, there is n't a built in full wizard that convert the win app to web app. You can try a tool available at ---------http://www.suite4.net/products/form.suite4.net/win-web-forms/default.aspx-------- but it is not that useful. But since the .NET Api is same
upto much extent, you will be able to re-use almost all code of win app in web app. Try doing it manually.
Please Mark As Answer if it helped.

Unfortunately there is no magic tool available that will seamlesly convert a windows application to a web version. However, depending on how consistant, structured and logically you work, it might be much less work than you expect it to be. Ideally, you've
put all your logic where it belongs (queries and other database logic in the database, connectivity in a DAL, application logic in classes and codebehinds, and so on) and the only part you need to work on is the front-end.
I know this is an older post but there is a solution and it's called Visual Web GUI. They have a conversion tool to convert (with high success) to the Visual Web GUI framework which allows you to develop web applications in the Visual Studio the same way
you develop winforms applications.
