Good day to all
I have an Public Area Dispaly System that usually pulls data from an access database. Now I need to make a new database which of course needs a new front-end. I know sql and tables quite well but am have never greatly worked with front-ends in access.
So since I know radtools for asp.net ajax I was wondering if it could make sense to programm the front-end with winforms.
Having never worked with WinForms it took me a good 2 hours yesterday to come figure out simple stuff.
I made a simple application with a RadMenu and when an menu item is clicked a new form gets shown. I published it to my server to check what happens if I try to install it on my windows tablet at home
- I did not have SQL Express 3.5 which was installed fast and automatically
- I got an error about TelerikContorls needed in GAC
So here come a bunch of questions
- Would it be simple to keep the whole thing in access (its not a very complicated database. Imagine a simple address database with a second table for countries)
- If WinForms would be an alertnative. Whats the best DB to be used to get the simplest installer process, user requirements if nothing is installed
- Can I use TelerikRad Tools for an application that I give away. Can I kind of embed the radControls (in web it would be a simple matter of bin folder)
Sorry for these very very basic questions.
