Question

I have written a Chat application using C#. The project is a separate Windows forms application. Now i do not want to write the entire code in the project where i am creating a webpage using asp.net. I want to do something like this:

1. The user opens the webpage,
2. Registers,
3. On the next page there would a button [Toolbox button] which the users clicks and that would initialize my form and hence the chat application.

How can i achieve this?

Answer 1

You could deploy your WinForm application as a Click-Once .Net deployment, and link the users to this after registering. However, you’d need to ensure your app works in this type of environment, and you’d begin limiting your user base because it would require they have the same version of the .Net framework and the ability to run a click-once application.
