You say tomato I say tomato... Anything specific, or just the need to
learn something new?

You should be able to drop something into an IIS directory and go. I see
no reason you need JS or Ajax. Sure, the make a web app nicer, but since
you don't have that in WinForms, why require it in WebForms? Start
simple.

I'd think it would be more frustrating/scary to move from WinForms to
WebForms and learn all the differences than just to learn WebForms in
the first place... and don't get me started on ASP.Net MVC. :-)

A test harness? Maybe. Just to see how something works, and actually I
prefer a command line app. Forces simplicity. A complete prototype? No
way.
