Is anyone aware of an ASP.Net control that allows a user to create a visio-like form on the internet? I am looking for a not-so sophisticated control to create architectural layouts on the web. Something where you could drag a symbol for a chair, wall, etc onto a form, then save it.

I am interested in this too. Specifically for GIFs. I cannot find any source of internal (that I can understand) formats for animated Gif.

Dose anyone have code to merge in-memory bitmaps into a single animated GIF? I have multiple GIF, now want to put them into a single graphic (even though I cannot display it). I don't want to use any other helper programs, just .net code. Or if someone can point me to a simple-to-understand explanation of how the animated gif is stored, that'll work too. thanks, j

Is there an easy way (utility, something in Visual Stuio, etc) to generate class files based on tables in SQL server?

Ah, cool, thanks.

anyone? I am just looking for some code to load an image into memory and copy a portion of that image to another image in memory.

I am pretty new to GDI. I have a image set up ok. Now I have another image (on a GIF file on disk) that I want to copy a portion of to my first image. How is this done? ANyone have a link to something similar? Also looking for any good web pages showing all the different kinds of textual graphics that can be done.

cool thanks

I am grabbing a web page using the WebRequest class. Anyone have any code to parse the a page (the page received) looking for all the links on the page? I guess kind of like a web spider would do (but I am not doing that). Thanks J

Possible? Any examples?

thanks!

I'll check them out, many thanks.

And this is used for both reading and writing data? So you have a DLL component registered on a .Net web server, somewhere, not necessarily the same web server that is serving up your web presentation, correct? This is a new one for me. They are using a 'DMZ' where I am at. So the user via the internet goes through the firewall to the web server. the web server does the presentation. but for data access it goes through a DMZ (demilitarized ?? this is the new one to me) then on to an 'App' server via web services, which is really another web server the way I understand it. that final web server then connects to the database (directly) so it sounds like the same thing you are referring to. anyone know of any urls explaining this maybe? does this last web services server then handle both the writing and reading of the data? reading obviously because it is tossing back datasets via XML, but what about writing? AH! I am guessing that is why I saw the serialize tag in all the data access components. So they can serialize to XML for another server or something like that?

Thanks for the info!

Has anyone seen data access tiers ran via web services? I am not really sure what I am asking actually, so this sounds weird. Something like IIS is used for the presentation and business objects, but the data access is passed off to another server via web services? What is the concept here? The system in which I am told this is happening is very data access intensive.

What is it? Anyone have a link that summarizes what it is? Looks like a new VS.Net release?

Thanks for the explanation. I think I understand the concept. What is the purpose of the <serializable> tag I sometimes see on functions and subs? p.s. I couldn't get that link to work

What is serialization ?

OK, I see it now. The refresh choice doesn't exactly refresh. I had to close the entire COM+ explorer and reopen it. Wah lah, then I saw it. I understand that these objects had dynamically registered in COM+ because of info pulled from the assembly. But what I still don't understand is how do I tell the client application to use COM+ servers sitting on another machine? Like with VB/MTS I would put the DLL into MTS, export the package, and install the package with the client app. The stub from the exported package told my client application to go run the component on the server. Is there something similar for COM+ or am I missing something? I see export on the COM+ application in COM+ explorer, is that the same thing as export package in the old MTS?

What am I not understanding here? I tried a demo project that I got off the web, from microsoft I think. What it does is create two objects that are COM+ serviced. Account and Customer. Anyways, it works fine. I hit 'Add Customer' and the COM+ object instantiates and adds the customer. But shouldn't I be seeing these objects in the COM+ explorer? Because I am not. Anyone have a pointer to a decent article for creating 3-tier app using COM+ ?

Darn, the first link is a web service tutorial but the link is flaky. Any others available?

Whoops, actually I spoke too soon (still thanks though). This is for a Windows Service, I am looking for a tutorial on a Web Service.

Perfect, thank you. Exactly what I was looking for.

Hi I am looking for a decent tutorial on these subjects: Creating/consuming a Web Service (VB.NET) Creating/using a COM+ (VB.NET) Service I've looked around and found a few basic COM+ ones, but nothing on a walk-thru for creating a Web Service.

Thanks!
