10 things you must do to make your desktop database apps better

Each of these items could be a blog post unto themselves, but I am going to try really hard to not be too verbose and just cover the core of the concept and why you need to do it. Everyone knows that any app driven by data is much more than just the app. In most cases the app without a database doesn’t even function, or fails to function properly. If a database is an integral part of your application, then shouldn’t you be doing all you can to ensure it ... (more)

Research projects in a small company

posted by

http://vistadb.myopenid.com/ 44 days, 10 hours, 7 minutes ago

How do you take time to do pure research on new technologies in a small company? This is not a rhetorical question. Small business teams rarely have the money to justify spending months on research. It is usually a case of build what works and run with it, so when do you get the time to do that research? Without ongoing research into new technologies and designs you have to find a way to fund those activities. Building a product by growing things in place is a good way to accrue a lot of technical...

A Visual SQL Query Designer - Win Dev Blog

This article describes the implementation of a QueryDesignerDialog class that allows users to create SQL queries based on a given OleDb connection string. The designer is similar to the ones found in database tools such as the SQL Server Management Studio and Microsoft Access. It allows end users to build SQL queries with support for sorting, grouping, and filtering. The main ... (more)

VistaDB 4.1 Announcement with Microsoft Sync Framework Support

We are finally ready to unveil some of the things we have been hard at work on since the release of VistaDB 4.0. One of the largest announcements is that we are going to support two way sync through the Microsoft Sync Framework ( Version 2 ). Sync has been a huge source of time wasted for us in the past through Sync 1, but it finally appears Microsoft has stabilized the API in Version 2 and is shipping it with Visual Studio 2010.

Does Silverlight 4 really use .Net 4 assemblies?

Does Silverlight 4 really use .Net 4 assemblies?

I have gotten a lot of questions from Silverlight users wanting to know if VistaDB will be able to load in Silverlight 4. This would be a great thing if you could actually have a client side database in a Silverlight app. I still am not 100% convinced this is a good idea in most circumstances, but for offline Silverlight apps this would definitely make sense. It would allow you to store data locally in isolated storage on the users machine, and then send it to the server when they next are online. (more)

How Dot Net 4 Side by Side will impact API writers

How Dot Net 4 Side by Side will impact API writers

As I mentioned in my previous Dot Net 4 strategy blog entry, we have been thinking about how we want to handle Dot Net 4 from an API and runtime standpoint. Just as a little refresher, remember that when I am talking about a .Net 2 assembly it can actually be any of the .Net 2, 3.0, 3.5 or 3.5 SP1 runtimes. They are a layered cake design in that they all use the same base and build up with additional tiers of functionality. You cannot have a .Net 3.5 app without .Net 2 present, doesn’t exist. (more)

Upgrading Dot Net BlogEngine to VistaDB 4

Our blog uses the excellent Dot Net Blog Engine as our blogging platform. You can use VistaDB as the backend store quite easily. Al Nyveldt’s blog has some great posts about setting up and configuring VistaDB with Blog Engine, but they are all for VistaDB 3.x. The Dot Net Blog Engine knows how to load provider factories, so it is quite easy to update the configuration to talk to VistaDB 4. I did these steps on our blog a while ago and everything has continued to run smoothly. (more)

Using SQL Server Integration Services to Migration VistaDB 4 Data

From the last blog post I talked about how to use the SQL Server Import Wizard to get data into SQL Server from VistaDB. You can use that Wizard but that process is a bit cumbersome and only works one table at a time. You can also build an SSIS package and migrate the entire database at once. (more)

This is what I do, more or less, so we decided to tackle that problem in the bar.

Initial testing also shows that I’ll be able to provide much more information about EF than I’ll be ... (more)

Using SQL Server Import and Export Wizard with VistaDB

How can you use the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard to migrate data from VistaDB 4 to SQL Server 2008? There is only one real tricky part that is specific to VistaDB 4, the license setup. SQL Server obviously was not built by you (or us), so it has not built in license for VistaDB. But we already thought of that, and give you a way to add a Design Time license flag to third party applications through their app.config. DTSWizard and the other related tools all have app.config files that you can ea... (more)

ADO.NET Data Services with VistaDB for quick client server applications

We get questions from users asking how they can build client server solutions using VistaDB, or more often just how they can avoid having to share drive letters to share a database. My traditional answer in the past has been to build a simple data access layer (DAL) and expose it over SOAP or WCF. Now with ADO.NET Data Services (Astoria) and our Entity Framework (EF) provider you have another choice. (more)
