RE: Sharing data between distributed apps



Hi Joe

If you say share data, do you mean you want to throw the data around the
network as it is entered? Like after name is typed, it must appear on one of
the other computers immediatly?

Or do you mean that you'll type Name in on one computer and later some other
computer (on the same network) must retrieve that name and show it to the
user?

If the case is the first I amd sorry but I do not know the answer.

In the second case: what you should do is create a Ms Access database on one
of the computers. In your program connect to that database using ADO.Net
oledb. Then save and retreive to and from that database. You do not need a
domain to this. The first quetion you have to ask after that is how do you
create a database to store data. The next question is how does a program
(connect/link/gain access) to that databse. Thirdly how does any connected
program put data in the database. And how does any program retrieve data from
that database...

Hopes it helps
