An "offline" dotnet component to an asp.net web app

I have an asp.net web application that I use with an Access data backend. I
want to add a mini-client "offline" DotNet Windows App component in the
event that I don't have an internet connection or maybe for some other
reason.

I envision downloading the data from the online version as needed (say using
a web service) and loading that into the client version.

How should I go about this? Should I store the data as XML and use that as a
database for the client app? I don't want to use Access for the client app
if I don't have to, as the client might not have Access. This begs the
question that if the client has the .Net framework will it have MDAC in
which case I might be able to use Jet independent from Access. But let's
just say it doesn't have MDAC.

Can I use XML as a database? The amount of data I have is small, under 1000
records right now but it might increase to a few thousand over a period of
time. I am the only user of this tool.

Any advice is appreciated.

Hi-- How can one detect, programmatically, if an application is set to "work offline"? The situation is this. I have a project hosted at a site on the web. When I am developing locally, I simply check "work offline" and then I can run the VS.NET debugger and step-through code, and so on. When I am ready to "publish" my changes, I simply uncheck "work offline" and the web syncs just fine.

XDrive.com has a great offline backup web interface that looks just like windows explorer. Is there anything like this for ASP.NET that one can buy to run on their own server? I looked at http commander http://www.http-com.com, but my clients really want a folder structure on the left, not just a list files in the current directory.

I've got a user table with a field called Online, and when a user logs in, I set a value in this column to indicate they are online.

However, how do I handle this when a user just X's out of the browser without logging off? I've set break points in the global.asax.cs file but the Session_End and Application_End functions...

Does anyone know how to check if the (default) printer has some problems like "Use printer offline" or Paperjam, or out of paper? Any status on the printer would be appreciated. (I don't need a network printer, as the printer I'm using is connected via USB). Any sample vb.net (or c#) would be appreciated.

Hey, Can someone please clarify, confirm, or set me straight on my understanding of a standalone="yes" attribute in the xml version element? I assume it means that the xml document containing it is standalone, and does not refer to any external document to define types. In other words, it doesn't use an external dtd to validate any types - everything used would be defined within the doc itself. In other words, you would never see an xml...

Overview: 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,...
