What is the main difference between an ASP.NET Web application and a traditional Windows application

ASP.NET Web applications runs under common language runtime using managed code where as Unmanaged Windows application runs under Windows using unmanaged code.

List the four major differences between Web and Windows applications.

• Web forms cannot use the standard Windows controls. Instead, they use server controls, HTML controls, user controls, or custom controls created specially for Web forms.
• Web applications are displayed in a browser. Windows applications display their own windows and have more control over how those windows are displayed.
• Web forms are instantiated on the server, sent to the browser, and destroyed immediately. Windows forms are instantiated, exist for as long as needed, and are destroyed.
• Web applications run on a server and are displayed remotely on clients. Windows applications run on the same machine they are displayed on.
