Hi,
i've heard from someone that i can make my whole VB.NET
application to be run on a web browser and this is call
thin client? Only problem is that i need to install .net
framework on all PCs that run it. I know the best way for
web application is to use ASP.NET but i kinda need my
windows.net exe to run over the internet instead of
rewriting everything in ASP.NET.

Can someone direct me to a link or help me in this? Coz i
cant seem to find any information on doing this. Thanks!

A little difference, you can make a VB.Net so called windowsforms
application, this can use Net parts to do things on Internet. For that you
have to install the framework who on all computer who uses your programs and
all the rights to install that and let it run.

It is not a replacement for a Webform (a browser form). That you can use for
every application where the above rules are not valid. If you make your
total application with it, you may call this a thin client. For that you
don't have to install Net on every computer.

You to can use a Window Service, for that I have added a link, who describes
the problem you have a little bit. But keep in mind, this hasn't to be the
only solution for your problem.
