Datagrid <-> Win Form <-> Web Service Client <-> Web Service <-> SQL Server 2005
I can't seem to find any documentation that describes how to put this together. As my first example, all I want to do is update a DaataGrid on a form and have the MSSQL DB on a remote machine update. Simple. I'm looking for a binding solution that involves taking advanytage of all things .NET. The talk of XML web services stresses compatibility with non.NET clients, but I want _only_ .NET clients. How can I take advantage of my .NET client this way? Whether to use WCF is treated elusively on the MS site. When is it better? Worse? Can I even do what I need with it? Is there a clear cut way to accomplish the above so that the binding is transparent, and behaves just as if the datasource was on the same machine as the client? TIA! :)
