Thanks for your reply. I am not tied into sticking with crystal reports, but after looking on DataDynamics website, it would cost us $10k for a site license of active reports.
DO you know of any cheaper alternatives?

Sorry but no. There are only 2 of us developing here and one of the things we really wanted to do was give the end users the ability to alter the reports. The crystal report designer component licence is more restrictive and would result in us having to substantially increase to cost of our software. The DataDynamics one is royalty free so for us it was actually a far cheaper option than crystal anyway.

If you don't know how to store text, then you need to buy a basic book on databases, or read the help that came with your database.

Hello,
I'm programming an application for a multi user environment, so multiple users will work with different applications on the same database tables.
Now, here's my problem.
Lets say user A en user B start the application, and there local dataset is filled. Let's say user A changes row 1, automatically the application will save this in the application and in the database. But now user B doesn't have this latest info yet.
How do i solve this?
Nowadays it's working like this, each minute the application is getting the latest info from the database, and the datagrid is redrawn with the new latest info.
but i would like to compare the current dataset for changes with the new dataset from the database. Is there an easy way to do this?
thx

There's nothing you can do about what is shown on one clients screen while another is changing it, unless you lock records so only one person can have them at a time. I'd lock only when you get to a point of editing, and then users will find out someone beat them to it if they try to edit something that someone else has grabbed. The 1 minute refresh is basically a race condition, and a drain on your database server resources.

I answered a very similar question a few hours ago. You can find it on this forum here[^]

If you need to access programs in general on the server then you can use Remote Desktop Connection (assuming the administrator of the server permits in-bound connections and your account has permission to be accessed remotely in this way), it is in your Start --> All Programs --> Accessories --> Communications menu.

I am trying to create a deployment project for my windows app using the MSDE deployment toolkit so my database and SQL will be automatically configured on client machines. The only information i have to work with is an article at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnmsde/html/msdedepl.asp[^]
I was wondering if anyone could help me out with the code and or sql statements for actually creating the database, tables, login info, etc. I dont know that much about SQL or SQL statements. I have written a complete app using a SQL database and it works great i just need help with my deployment using the MSDE toolkit because that looks like the best way to go for ease of installation. If anyone has any input, code, just any kind of help with this, i would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

i've developed an application that uses ADO.NET.
If want to distribuite it do i need to save in the user installation diretory some dll or other files?
Thanks

how is it possible to distribuite an application about 500 kb to force the final user to install all the .NET framework.
It is a very bad nonsense!!!!
Is there someone more serious can answer?

Easy, if they don't install the .NET framework the application doesn't work. So if they want it to work they must download the .NET Framework.

23Mb these days is not a lot for a download. Most JVMs are of a similar size.

My answer was was serious. I suggest you just didn't like it and don't want to accept it.
Remember that the .NET Framework only has to be installed once for all .NET applications on the machine so if they already have it then they don't need to download it again.

as colin replied, there is no nonsense in installing the framework if your program was coded in a .NET language.
do you only know what you do when you compile and when you execute a .NET language ?
if you didn't want so much task to do for your customer, you had to do it in MFC or Win32 or VB6 for example...

so the user need to install the framework .NET also if he has windows XP or just for the others older WINDOWS 32 OS?
|
|
|
|
|
no, of course he does need to install something that is already installed...
in fact, you will have to test into your installer if the framework already exist, and if not, propose to install it...

No, Currently only Windows Sever 2003 ships with the .NET Framework.

If I remember correctly, if you built your installer using a setup project in Visual Studio then it tests for you because it is set with the details of the components required.
