Hi To All



I am working on an auctioning system that i am developing with C# .NET 4.0. These auctioneers usually have outside auctions which are carried outside (where it would unreasonable to set up a computer network). The bidding's are recorded on paper and then saved onto the database from the papers.

What I want to do is this, I want each auctioneer to have their own handheld mobile computer like the ones offered by cipher labs (http://us.cipherlab.com/catalog.asp?CatID=7&SubcatID=2)[^]. The auctioneer will record each bidding on that mobile computer (these recordings should be saved as text file) so when they decide to upload the the bidding these files will be read by a separate module (developed by me) that will then read the file and save to the data to a database.

So can you assist me with devices and libraries that are compatible with such functions and that will help me achieve this feature that i would like to incorporate into my system

Thanks in advance

This is a quick answers section. I would like to remind you that you have posted a complete project requirement here. Please read these links
What have you tried ?[^]

and the rules for posting questions on CP How to ask questions on CP ?[^]

My quick suggestion is that - instead of recording the data on text files ( have you ever thought that there will be no validation when data will be written to text files ? How are you going to correct the incorrect data ? )in those mobile computers and reading it later, provide them with a webpage or LAN client from where the user can directly save the data to your database.
