Uniobjects.Net is the base requirement. MV.NET builds on this and gives you a heap more (tho infact you can use it without uniobjects.net) So it depends if you want simple connectivity to the DB to do commands and subroutine calls, for which uniobject.net would suffice, or if you want any of the

I've used the UO.NET library with no issues with both ASP.NET web sites and Windows forms applications for years now... But the devil in the details and those may impact which tool is better Do the 3rd party tools offer some feature you foresee as a requirement that UO.NET does not provide?

UO.NET has been superseded by U2 Toolkit for .NET (or more accurately, subsumed by it), so you really should be looking at that for .NET development. http://u2.rocketsoftware.com/products/u2-toolkit-for-.net/at-a-glance It has a free component, which includes all of your UO.NET functionality,

I'll preface by saying I catch some heat when I advocate some products, because I happen to sell them too. People confuse the cause and effect there. I sell products because I use them - I'm putting my money where my mouth is. I was using them first as a choice, having considered other options

[U2] UniData PreStore to change the KEY of a record?

Sure, you should be able to write the record with the new key and then delete the existing record. The trouble comes in making sure another record doesn't already exist with the new key. Hth Colin -Original Message- From: David Wolverton Sent: Tuesday, May 28, 2013 11:48 AM To: 'U2

You can't 'swap'. What you can do is save it as a new name and delete the old record. If you are doing this on a live system as part of production support (hopefully development isn't been done there), make sure you understand how code is using that file and lock as appropriate, otherwise you

I do not think you can Prestore a replacement command to operate on the KEY (attribute zero) I would suggest giving the task to an expert user and teaching said user how to look at the Key, mentally replace bad with good and then SAVE GOOD1234, followed by FD -Original

There is also the danger in a PreStore where you go to field 30 to make your change, but the record(s) in question does not have that many field. It instead goes to the last field and execute the change. This can be disastrous! Be careful! JRI -Original Message- From:
