Here is an example of doing this using XAML [1]. Cool idea but I think the work involved might out weigh the benefits (until all target desktops are longhorn or up).

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Vipul Patel Sent: Tuesday, 20 April 2004 9:55 p.m. To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] Using a common form for web and windows-based application. We have a GUI based windows application and a Web based application. Both the applications are accessing the same business logic to display the data. We have separately created Windows forms for Windows application and Web forms for the web application. Is there a way by which we can save these forms (either windows forms or web forms) as a shared dll so that the two applications display the same forms and we don't have to create the forms for each application. If it is not possible using Visual Studio .net then are there any third party tools which can be used to accomplish this. I have heard about Infragistics but don't know more on this. Does it provide the facility of using same forms for windows and web applications?
