I wrote a desktop application in C++ a little while ago, and I will like
to port it to a web application.

Here are the details:

1). ALL business logic is held in ANSI C++ libraries (e.g. I make
extensive use of the BOOST C++ libraries)
2). The front end is written entirely in VB6

What I want to do is to is to be able to be able to have a choice of
building a DOTNET desktop application or a web application (preferably,
using as much of the same presentation layer code as possible).

I realize that I will have to port the GUI from VB6 to either C# or
VB.Net (I can code in either language easily enough). I would like to
know if :

1). I can build both a web application and a desktop application from
the same (presentation layer) source code - if no, what is the best way
to minimize duplicating code?

2). Which of the two languages (VB.Net or C#) will be better suited for
this job (i.e. coding a new presentation layer), and why ?
