Web Forms Overview

Web Forms applications have many advantages over traditional client-server and Windows Forms applications:
• Web Forms applications:
– do not require client-side installation
– are easy to upgrade
– have no distribution costs
– offer broad-based user access
• Any user with a Web browser and an online connection can run Web Forms applications
