Hi, I want to know is it possible for me to create a window forms applications with networking capability (internet)?

Yup, it is. Trying to do something specific?

Thank you for the reply, planoie.

Ya, I am trying to do a small inventory system for own usage. I want to have an application which has the menu bar all that. One thing specific here is that I want to try to generate report using crystal report but I don't know whether can it be done in web form, this is why I am struggling as which platform should I use, a web form application or window form application?

Here is the brief requirements of the application:

1) To insert/edit/delete inventory data
2) To print report using crystal report.
3) I can update data to database regardless where I am (internet, as well as LAN).

I only have few months experience with .NET, so I feel that it is best to develop windows form application. What do you think?

If you need the application to be usable over the internet and need the database to reside in a single place then you have two obvious options:

1. A web based application that talks to your database on its own LAN.

2. A desktop application that talks to the database thru web services. (This allows for an "internet enabled" application without the need to expose your database on a public IP address. You can make the web service require authentication or other kind of security measure to prevent unauthorized access.)

Thanks for the info. I think I will go and try on web services. :)
