What are Windows Applications and Windows Forms Smart Clients?
Smart clients are easily deployed and managed client applications that provide an adaptive, responsive and rich interactive experience by leveraging local resources and intelligently connecting to distributed data sources. They are connected systems (usually through the Internet) that allow the user’s local applications to work together with remote applications. They have the ability to work offline, the capability to be deployed and updated in real time over the network from a centralized server, to support multiple platforms and languages because they are built on Web Services, and to run on almost any device that has Internet connectivity.
