RE: Question for Donald Kibbey
Ha! Will pernickty Johnson is at it again. Integrate as a verb I think applies to mathematics. But if I say My software integrates well I think most people would think A) you have math software ? or B) Your English is bad? Damn! Sir, can't you also get a life? Ain't this a technical group? Can't we assume enough intelligence for you to get the drift? Dennis bugged by your attitude bartlett -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users

George, the best commercial integration option available for MV right now is the Pick Data Provider .NET from Raining Data.

Honestly you don't need any data provider for .NET integration with MV, you can roll your own connectivity, but there is value in having someone else develop, maintain, and enhance these tools for you.

Re: Question for Donald Kibbey
(adjusting tin foil headgear) You do realize that Micro$oft is really in the hard drive business. Of course .Net takes up a gazillion megabytes and to use my method of getting to UniVerse with C# (so you can type in all those cool looking semi-colons) you'll have to load another half gazillion megabytes of mostly unused J# java stuff too. But, you also get the benefit of holding your nose high and sniffing condescendingly at the mere vb developers who are not allowed to type in the cool semi-colons.

Tony, Get the Pick Data Provider .NET from Raining Data and get the same support as Clink for mvBase - no thanks. There are only 10 people in the world who understand binary and I am not one of them.

RE: Question for Donald Kibbey
But doesn't .NET take up like a gazillion bytes of space? And doesn't integration require an object? I can't speak of the Pick Data Provider for .NET, however, the .NET framework itself doesn't take up a 'gazillion' bytes. The framework (free download) is between 21 24MB (depending on the framework version) as a single install file. Assume that once it loads onto the system it will take a bit more space but you are probably still less than 50-75MB. Keep in mind that the framework will be built into all new MS operating systems (starting with Windows 2003). I don't really know what you are after with the integration requiring an object. Can you be more specific? Regards, Jim -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users

MvBase? I think he was saying best provider for MV not for MvBase Right? And I didn't say it, he did.

It would have been easier if you just asked me to reread the original post ;-) I think I know what Tony meant with his statement, but, it isn't appropriate for me to answer for him so I won't.

But doesn't .NET take up like a gazillion bytes of space? And doesn't integration require an object? As in... integration with .. what? Will I don't know why I need to clarify that statement, the other guys got it fine. An integration option for MV sort of implies between MV and anything else that uses .NET. The word for is just as good a preposition as with. I also said: you don't need any data provider for .NET integration with MV. This implies that .NET itself _is_ the object. Since the whole purpose of .NET is to serve as a common ground for development, if you have integrated with .NET then you have accomplished a goal. This further implies that you can now integrate with anything else that is also .NET-compatible. Yes, connectivity, interaction, and real integration do have different connotations and I try to be more careful about my choice of words. You can connect to anything but unless you have a good API around your connectivity you aren't really integrating. PDP.NET is an API like UO but it is much more, and it does take advantage of .NET where UO does not and UO.NET may not - we'll see.
