Convert a windows App to web App

[ImLearningDotNet]

What kind of coding would one have to do to convert a windows based business application into a web based application? I heard from someone that you have to take the app out of the windows 'wrapper' and put it into a web based 'wrapper' but I dont know what this terminology means.
Can anyone break it down for me? Im very curious as to how this could be accomplished.
Also how long do you think this project would take someone with no experience in converting applications?

Windows apps and Web apps use completely different user interfaces. The more separate the UI of the application is from the rest of the logic the easier it will be make the switch. A well-designed app should be able to have multiple UIs created that could all reference the same business logic library.

In theory everything else should be the same, although various things might need adjusting a little or a lot.

Also how long do you think this project would take someone with no experience in converting applications?

How can we possibly answer that question? It could take a year even for an experienced developer. It depends completely on the application itself, plus the aptitude of the developer doing the conversion.
