1. You Cannot use any third-party ASP.NET controls
2. You Cannot integrate with other webpages
3. You Cannot have any HTML / Javascript in your application.

In other words - You are locked into the Controls/Gateways VWG supports on both the Web and Windows sides.  Not only that - but you don't find many people developing VWG for Windows.Forms.  Almost all VWG development and support surrounds the Web.Forms.

Now - That being said.  There is good news!

Here is an excellent solution for you.  You can deploy VWG Web.Forms Application to the Desktop - using the Cassini Desktop Adapter.  Cassini Desktop Adapter is a fully-functional, embedded ASP.NET webserver - making your as a VWG Web.Forms a Standalone ASP.NET Web App.

The Cassini Desktop Adapter will basically wrap your VWG Web Application into a Standalone Package for the Desktop.  End users don't even need to installation anything.  They just click-to-run.

Click to Download the Cassini Desktop Adapter.

Please feel free to contact me or post on this forum.  I would love to hear from people who use it and find it helpful.

Good luck to all of you.  God bless,
