    I went to a seminar on silverlight and if you make a app in silverlight you can right click it and click a option wich enables you to run it locally(it'll copy it to the harddrive and make a link on your desktop. So using silverlight you would be able to make a app wich works on the web and desktop

    Simple answer is: yes. Altgought I'm not sure if you will be able to 100% reuse it.
    • Make it run.
    • Make it right.
    • Make it fast.

    If your web app was created properly behind, let's say, a webservice, then creating a desktop app on top of the same webservice should be trivial (depending on the complexity of the UI).

    FYI... Somebody mentioned a Silverlight Desktop App. Those will also run on an Apple Mac's desktop too...

    Frank,

    I think your description is a bit vague.... At the moment your description applies to just about any Forms/WPF application. Can you be a bit more specific as to the actual problem areas you think you will have?
