• Ron31416 Dataset serialization

  I have an issue with the Dataset serialization. I have a class, say BaseDataSet which inherits from the Dataset. More classes inherit from BaseDataSet. I would like to pass on the object inherited from the BaseDataSet back to the client via a web service. Before passing on I cast the derived object to BaseDataSet type.

• Robert Darwin Data drops when reserializing XSD.exe-generated classes using 2.0 framework.

  I gen my XSD /classes with no reported errors, then deserialize my sample data using XmlSerializer. The data structure looks exactly as expected in the debugger.

• PainDeer Connecting to a database through a webservice

    Ilya Tumanov wrote: Yes, but it makes no sense. To accomplish that you would have to purchase SQL 2000/2005 and pay CALs per device (or per CPU license). If that’s acceptable, simply get rid of Access and use much more powerful SQL you've paid for. Alternative solution is to use Web Service to talk to Access database. Create couple WEB methods to talk to access and call them from device. Something like this should do: ...Show All

• Brian_Kramer Autonumbers and currency

  I was wondering if currency only applies when you are editing a record as opposed to adding or deleting a record. For example, say there are 2 users that are using some disconnected database software. Each of them starts to add records to their respective datasets at the same time. When they run an update to push the values back to the server, will the autonumbers collide I'm still learning the basics, so any information will help out grea ...Show All
