Hi All,

Is it possible to create a Windows app which displays the web pages inside it, but the user won't feel that they are on a website but a windows web app?

This is because we have already a running mobile website, which is used as mobile app in ios. We would like to create a web app for windows which eventually calls the same website.

Thanks,
Jyotish

Hi
You can load a web url in windows application using 'WebBrowser' control. This is a common control in Windows Application.

C#

webBrowser1.Navigate("www.google.com");

will give you google web site opened in your windows application.
