Dear all,
I am working on a re-development project. The objective is to replace
an old "system", which make use of local MS Excel, with a new
web-based application.
Platform: SQL2K, Windows Server 2K3, ASP.NET
My users are damn familiar with MS Excel. They can work fine with huge
spreadsheet (tens of column and hundreds of row). In our prototype
they don't feel comfortable of our .NET DataGrid control since:
1) They have to scroll left to activate a row
2) A post-back is necessary on row activation
3) There is no freeze-pane and there is lots of scrolling
Now I wonder should the following work:
1) Browser opens an Office web component (active X control) or local
excel instance (we have the license required).
2) The excel instance opens a XML file, retrieve from SQL server,
which includes column / row headers.
3) Users save their input at client side in XML and send to SQL for
data insert / update.
** Would it work?
** Any recommendation?
** Would it be difficult to implement?
Big thanks.

Why not have excel go and get data directly and do away with web based if
they dont like it.
You could always do management in asp web based side.

Hello,
there's a module called Spreadsheet::WriteExcel. It allows me to create
a new worksheet and edit its cells:
my $workbook = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel->new('my.xls');
my $worksheet = $workbook->addworksheet();
$worksheet -> write('A2', 222);
But how can I put some values into the cells of an existing worksheet?

Anyone has any suggestion re how to fix this problem? Thanks a lot,

Hi,
I'm trying to create a web app that will allow users to input several
rows of data for several columns. Is there a control that simulates
the flexibility of a spreadsheet? This app is currently in excel, as a
series of input templates, and I want to migrate it to web - still
being able to input data for several rows/columns at once.
Thanks for your help!!

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,...
