Modern UI Delivers Ease of Use and Uncompromising Performance
WinForms (also known as Windows Forms) is a tool used in the development of applications for Windows-based computers. In contrast with web applications that are executed within a browser, WinForm applications are executed as an application installed on the end-user’s computer and offers greater flexibility with respects to content access. WinForms provides a modern UI with exceptional performance and unsurpassed end-user capabilities.
When should you choose a WinForms application instead of a web application?
There are a few important points to consider when determining whether a WinForms application will best serve your business needs:
Strengths: WinForm applications provide faster performance than web applications and are easier to build. Since WinForm applications resides on the individual client machines, risk of downtime for your entire business group is not an issue. If one client machine goes down, the other users are not affected. A web application, on the other hand, resides on a web server. So if the web server goes down, all users are down, impacting productivity. Therefore, the robustness and reliability of WinForm applications are a major advantage.
Limitations: Deployment and maintenance is more complex for a WinForms application. Whereas deployment of a web application is transparent to the end user, deployment of a WinForms application requires installation of all the required files on each client machine as well as the required version of .NET framework and other library files. If there is a catastrophic failure, user interaction will be required, whereas a web application generally does not require user interaction to address issues. For these reasons, it is important to partner with an experienced IT company to ensure a successful deployment among your user community.
