Do you want a win form app or WPF one? hahahahaha decisions decisions In essence you need to make 2 if not 3 projects for this so you can use parts of it later on. 1. Make a solution for your GUI. 2. Add a new project to that for your Data Access Layer 3. If WPF you need to add a Web Service project because WPF gets it's data from WS. The WS calls upon the Data Access. I would use Linq2SQL in the DAL. There are plenty of how to docs via google for that. You could use a SQL Command object as well. How structrued are you going to have your GUI for what is typed in? I mean will the query always be from the same table / view? Or will they be able to hit anything? Someone suggested the LearnVisualStudio videos and I highly recommend them as well. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer SQL Server DBA Web and Winform Development Independent Contractor Memphis TN 901.246-0159 _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
