Convert Win application to Web application

[aspvbnetnerd]

I have to created a vb.net windows application.
I would like to have this application to be a web application.

Is it possible for me to convert it to a web application?

Not automatically, if that's what you mean?

Ok, how would you do it.

I don't want to write it all again.

You don't have a choice. Web apps are very different from windows apps.

You wouldn't have to write it all again. I assume you've seperated all the code into seperate layers, so you will only have to change the presentation layer. The business layer, and the data access layer can remain the same.

There's also another method which involves the windows for running inside a browser. However, I can't think of what it's called at the minute, so I'll have to dig out a link I have for it at work tomorrow. It's probably not the best approach though, and I'd go with rewriting the presentation layer.

Yes I only have to change the presentation layer, but it is alot of logic there

I have a class for data acces, class for printing, class for Active Directory logic, Class Datalist, Class for calling webservice.
All of them are implented trought Interfaces. This is okay.

There is alot of logic in the presentation layer. example working with C1Flexgrid.

Oh my god. :-(
