What is the difference between thin client and thick client
Whcih type of code should be written in thin and which in thick

Thank yo

Because it is also a commercial isue and therefore everywhere ysed where th
sales man could use it (especialy if the human client did not know what i
was of course)

But the most easy to tell is that a thin client uses small bandwidth t
connect to a server. (Can work on slow connections

You can say every thing done as a webform is thinclient

But there are more posibilities

You have things that companies like Citrix Metaframe are offering where yo
can use old Dos programs over the network, acting as the classic mainfram
process only submitting keystrokes and monitor changes

You have the webservices, which only give needed information to the client

A lot of posibilities you see

I hope this did give a little understanding

Hi Co
Thank you for your answer but i didnt get clear idea

Like if i have got three tier application, can i have win forms and web forms in it
If i can which forms come under thick and which come under thin

Please give my some more detail

Thank yo
 
Hi Rohan,

It is very easy, do you have enough bandwidth than you can use a so called
Thick Client.

If bandwidth (connection) is the bottleneck, you use a thin client.

There is also called sometimes a reason that a Thin client is more easier to
manage than a Thick client, but that is in my opinion the same as with the
old discussion only a keyboard and monitor or a Client Server solution.

Not to start a war but my impression was that a thick client app was one
where all processing of the presentation of data was on the client. A thin
client uses a browser and the server presents the data.

Biggest advantage is that little (or nothing) has to be installed on a
client workstation for thin client so it will work on all workstations that
have a connection to the server.

Generally a thin client will have less OS centric functionallity.

True, however only one of the advantages. I think it is not always an
advantage, because a lot of reasons and one of them is that you lose direct
all power of the workstation.

This post is a continuing answer from another thread (Metaframe Citrix is
also thin client and has nothing to do with a browser).

See the complete thread about this.

But this is a thing about what you can be discussed endless however has
always to be seen from the perspective from who uses it.

But just my thought

Hi Loyd,

I can explain it also in this way.

Almost all datacommunication processing before 1990 was thin client.
