Sorry for two ads in one day folks but John's note prompts a specific response.
John, are you aware that the core library in mv.NET is full of functions for Date, Time, DCount, and other MV-specific IConv/OConv functions? nospamNebula-RnD.com/products/mvdotnet mv.NET isn't just a library, it's fully integrated with Visual Studio: - Edit, Compile, and Catalog MV BASIC code in VS - Maintain all configuration data to different systems in VS - Maintain dict and data items in VS - Create U2 files from VS - Graphically create reports in VS - If you wish, open a telnet window from VS too In addition to that there are three libraries, one for core development, one for ADO.NET development with MV (no data flattening required) and one for directly binding data to controls. A soon-to-be-released major update for mv.NET will include generation of rich class definitions from MV dictionaries, to be used as DataSource objects. See my blog for a discussion of this topic: nospam.pleaseNebula-RnD.com/blog/tech/mv/2008/11/mvcodegen2.html I don't see a "void" that needs to be filled. For a couple hundred bucks you can do everything you've described. Some people say "this should come from IBM" but many people don't realize that IBM did purchase the source for an older version of mv.NET, rebranded it, limited the functionality, and they're now marketing it under a different name. So you have two options. Of course I'd prefer that you contact me about mv.NET. :) HTH Tony Gravagno Nebula Research and Development TG@ remove.pleaseNebula-RnD.com Nebula R&D sells mv.NET and other Pick/MultiValue products worldwide, and provides related development services remove.thisNebula-RnD.com/blog Visit PickWiki.com!
