In order to achieve stateful behavior, viewstate
is used. Purpose was to give developers the
same experience of a typical WinForms
application.
ASP.NET MVC approach is

stateless as that of the web.
So there is no concept of
viewstate.
Statefulness has a lots of problem for web

environment in case of excessively large
viewstate. Large viewstate means increase in
page size.

computers

deployment; the client
requires only a browser.
The server must be
running the Microsoft
.NET
Framework.
Updates
to
the
application are made by
updating code on the
server.
Graphics
Windows Forms includes GDI+,

which enables sophisticated
graphics for games and other
extremely
rich
graphical
environments.
Interactive or dynamic
graphics requires round
trips to the server for
updates when used on
Web Forms. GDI+ can
be used on the server to
create custom graphics.
Responsiveness
Windows Forms can run entirely

on the client computer; It can
provide the quickest response
speed for applications requiring
a high degree of interactivity.
If you know that users

Forms, you insert the text into

(with some limitations,

such as no overlapping
controls). If the users
have
DHTML-capable
browsers,
you

much
more
precise layout with twodimensional (x- and ycoordinate) layout.
Platform
Windows Forms requires the

.NET Framework running on the
client computer.
Web
Forms
requires
only a browser. DHTMLcapable browsers can
use extra features, but
Web Forms can be
designed to work with
all browsers. The Web
server must be running
the .NET Framework.
Access to local
resources
(file
system,
Windows
registry, and so
on)
Applications, when permitted,

can have complete access to
local computer resources. If
required, the application, with
precision, can be restricted
from using specific resources.
Browser
security
prevents the application
from
accessing
resources on the local
computer.
Programming
model
Windows Forms is based on a

client-side, Win32 messagepump mode, where instances
of components are created,
used, and discarded by the
developer.
Web Forms relies on a

largely
asynchronous,
disconnected
model,
where components are
loosely coupled to the
application front end.
Typically,
application
components are invoked
through
HTTP.
This
model may not be
suitable for applications
requiring
extreme
throughput from the
user end or for those
with
high-volume
transactions. Similarly,
Web Forms applications
may not be suitable for
database
applications
that require high levels
of concurrency control
(for
example,
pessimistic locking).
Security
Windows
Forms
uses
permissions
in
its
implementation of code access
security to protect computer
resources
and
sensitive
information. This allows careful
exposure of functionality, while
retaining security. For instance,
the Printing Permission, which
at one level would allow
printing to the default printer
only, at another level would
allow printing to any printer.
Using ClickOnce, developers
can easily configure which
permissions their applications
should and should not demand
from the client. For more
information,
see ClickOnce
Deployment and Security.
Authorization to gain
access to the resources
of a Web application is
typically controlled on a
per-URL
basis
by
authenticating
the
credentials
(for
example,
a
name/password pair) of
the
requestor.
Web
Forms
allows
the
developer to control the
identity under which
server application code
is
executed.
Applications
can
execute code with the
identity
of
the
requesting entity, which
is
known
as
impersonation.
Applications can also
dynamically
tailor
content based on the
requestor's identity or
role. For example, a
manager could receive
access to a site, or a
higher level of content
than
someone
with
lower permissions.
