Hi all. I need to create an app that runs both at individual client PCs, on
the client's on-site server, and on a main server depending on network
connectivity, probably w/ database replication.
What technologies should I use so that the software running on all three
locations looks the same, scales from the single PC to the site server, to a
master off-site server, WITHOUT writing different software for each "tier?"
Moreover, the # of tiers could increase.
I'm guessing WPF and SQL Express / Server to start...

Is there ever any likelihood that any user of the system will not have
access to the public Internet...?
If not, why not just provide the system over the web?

Hi,
I have a web service that process a client call. When a client makes a call
to the web method the method needs to query some data from a client_A and
return the data to the calling client_B. How should I design the way the web
service will call client_A to retreive the data needed for client_B?
I am using .net 1.1 and c#

This may be a dumb question, but I'm not finding anything specifically what
I'm looking for. Still kind of new to .NET as well.
What I'm trying to do that I know I could do in VB6.0/ASP is to create a

that in VB6/asp it was fairly straight forward by creating an ActiveX

command and it worked...

Hi,
What's in general the most performant for a VB.NET Windows Forms (2.0)
application:
- a fat client (everything one the client, the server hosts only the
database)
- a smart client (an application on the client, that communicates with an
application on the server via Webservices/Remoting/..)
I would somehow think a smart client, but would just like to have the

Hi there,
Sorry, newbie, learning my way around ...
I understand that ASP.Net is built on the assumption that the client
does not run the .net framework, and that when you can assume that the
client does run the framework, you should go the smart client way.
I did a fast "is the buzzword alive" check: The Microsoft smart client
development center is dead, and on Amazon I found just one book on that

Hi, there
We have currently a Java Applet based solution that we would like to
rewrite to a .NET solution.
The scenario is the following:
1. Starter Client application opens up a web browser window and
makes a HTTP request with a big raw postdata to a remote server.
2. In this web browser window a Java Applet based application shall
start and he will retrieve the posted data and he will work with it.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
