In the third part of this tutorial, you convert the client-server application that you built in the first set of exercises. However, you do not need to complete the client-server tutorial in order to follow the instructions in the .NET Windows Forms tutorial. You can use the application provided in the PowerBuilder Tutorial\Solutions directory as the starting point for the Windows Forms tutorial instead of the application that you build in the client-server tutorial.
The end result of the .NET Windows Forms tutorial looks reasonably similar to the completed client-server tutorial, except for the fact that you deploy it as a thin client application solution. The tutorial does not cover all features of .NET Windows Forms applications that you can build with PowerBuilder. Additional topics, such as intelligent updating and using the bootstrapper are covered in the Deploying Applications and Components to .NET book.
