Second tutorial up for Firebird ASP.NET 2.0

The second tutorial page for the OfficeTest General Tests sample is now available.

The starter page and code can be found here: Firebird and .NET 2.0 development Example.

The tutorial can be found here: BillingType: Simple web page using 2 SqlDataSources a GridView (display only) and a synchronized DetailsView (all editing).

This is again a simple example which demonstrates the following:

  • Synchronizing a GridView and a DetailsView.

First tutorial up for Firebird ASP.NET 2.0

I just completed the first tutorial page for the OfficeTest General Tests sample code I posted earlier.

The starter page and code can be found here: Firebird and .NET 2.0 development Example.

The first code tutorial can be found here: JobPosition: Simple web page using SqlDataSource a DetailsView (inserting) and a GridView (Editing, Deleting).

This is a very simple example but it will get the tutorial started and does demonstrate a few key points which aren't obvious such as:

Firebird and C# .net 2.0 development example

Ok, so I got the two big configuration issues out of the way (FirebirdClientDDEX with Visual Studio 2005. and Firebird MemberShip/Role/Profile Example) and now I figure its time for a few coding samples.

Firebird MemberShip/Role/Profile Example

After getting Firebird working with Visual Studio 2005 and a few basic example programs I figured security was the next topic to tackle. Of course, just like getting Firebird working with Visual Studio was not simple and straight forward neither was getting the security to work.

So if your trying to make Firebird work with the ASP.NET built in MemberShip provider then checkout this article: Firebird MemberShip/Role/Profile Example

FirebirdClientDDEX with Visual Studio 2005

Well I'm a big fan of Firebird and when I recently started doing some ASP.NET 2.0 development in Visual Studio 2005, I of course had to make it work with firebird. Unfortunately this proved to be a little more frustrating than I first expected. I did finally manage to solve all the issues so I detailed the steps here FirebirdClientDDEX with Visual Studio 2005.

JNDI Datasource with GWT Embedded Tomcat Server

Recently, I start playing around with GWT (Google Web Toolkit) and started converting over one of my JSP applications. I make use of JNDI datasources in my servlets and did not want to re-code my server logic to use DriverManager.getConnection() just for testing purposes.

After messing around I bit, I figured out how to get JNDI datasources working with the embedded Tomcat server that ships with GWT.

All path names below are relative to your project directory.

In tomcat/conf/gwt/localhost, add a ROOT.XML file, containing your datasource resource:

JavaDocs in HTML Help Format

With the recent release of J2SE 6, the first thing I always do is get the documentation in a more usable format.

It drives me nuts browsing javadocs inside a browser. A great resource I found on the web is Franck Allimant’s site. He maintains downloads to Javadocs for the all major releases of the JDK in Microsoft’s HTML Help format (.chm).
